The RS505 felt almost exactly like the 105 levers, still nice and sharp to shift.
It's ugly but the flat part between the bar and the hood felt more like a normal 11 speed shifter whether the RS685 felt like the Stay Puft version.
I'm getting one for my carbon road bike as I believe they're as good as the RS685, just not as flashy looking.

Thanks Ed - good idea, I will have a look see what current bikes use each system. If I can be persuaded to go RS505 I'd like to, as this will be a commuting bike so want to avoid the flashier options where possible. (I see the irony in this given I could go for the cheaper TRP brakes, but meh)
