Either my fingers are made of steel, or people on this forum have been pushing too many pencils....
I wondered about this, and I suspect leavers for flat bars don't have different bar shapes to worry about, different hand positions and don't have to squeeze in a shifting unit that affects the placement of the pivot, and the designers can concentrate on just making them work for stopping.
That said my concern is less with raw stopping power, more with what an utter pain in the ass internal cabling is with stiff, compressionless outer.
