I agree with what they're saying about cheap bar-end shifters working as well as DA/Ultegra, they just feel a little boxier usually or have a weird plastic bit that falls off anyway and you forget was even there.
Is there a bike jumble anytime soon or does your LBS have an 2nd hand parts bin? I've never bought them new, and never paid more than £20 for a pair (even those were spotless Ultegra 8s)
