A few things:
First, yes the bar end Silver Shifters are basically the same thing as the 
downtube shifters, with the bar end pods. But,it should be noted that, the bar 
end pod replaces the little travel stop washer thingy that cones with the 
Silver Shifters when ordered in the downtube configuration. So it's the same, 
just different.
You could use the silvers on a 10 speed cluster, if you have a suitable 
derailleur, but you might want to use something like the Wolftooth Tanpan to 
handle the needed additional cable travel. I personally just used the new 
Dia-Compe 11s shifter that VO is selling, downtube & shifts smooth as butter 
with the XTR derailleur.
I have the SS1s on my Drakkar & I love'em, but they do stick out rather a lot 
when mounted on bar pods and I have nastily poked people (not on purpose) with 
them while riding the train. I  welcome the new  compacty, ergoness!
