The Avid SD levers can be adjusted if you want a conventional setup for short pull brakes i.e. calipers and cantis, just turn the red knob counter clockwise and it'll reduce the pull. Nothing wrong running long pull levers on short pull brakes, gives pretty sharp braking but very little modulation. Maybe set it in the middle for best of both worlds? It's not only a marketing gimmick that it's called Speed Dial levers ;)
