They're more like an old fashioned hood shape. Less flat area for resting the hands on, more of a curved top. As levers they work well, but my hands didn't enjoy them (I ride on the hoods a lot). I ended up getting some mini v brakes and sram s500 levers.

Cool. Thinking about s500s but I also see that they have no return spring. I ride with two brakes so I dont see this as being a problem, but do they use the power of the spring from the brake to return to normal position? Only reason I ask is I don't trust the spring power on my brakes (shimano mini v) to be able to do that!

I inserted two pieces of cable housing and some bar tape under the hood cap to flatten out the top surface. The Cane Creek v brake levers are more comfortable but a bit more pricy..

Thanks for the pointer - what didn't you like about the shape? I see a few others online saying similar.
