I've tended to stay away from Shimano shifters as they seem designed for giant hands. I've got SRAM shifters on my road bike, which work well for me. Is your reach in the drops okay? I was really worried about braking during my first trip to the alps as I normally only ride on the hoods, but didn't have a problem getting into the drops for hairpin turn descents.
