Aaron, I used the Jtek for 10speed mix ups, with great success. I didn't know they made one to mix up speeds as well; no doubt it works as well. There was one other method I tried: using Campy 10 speed shifters with Shimano 9 speed cassettes and deraileurs, where all you do is route the rear cable differently. This worked OK. Cheers!
