I haven't tried the silvers I have with a 9sp cassette, but I do think the granularity of control they yield is a bit coarser than what I get from some old suntour acushift 7/8sp levers. I was using those older levers with 9sp successfully for a while until I got a new Suntour XCD to sub out my old xc-pro rd, and went back to indexing with shimano levers.
