I see. I very occasionally use the tops and that's only when one-handed-eating on longer rides, or climbing. Hoods the rest of the time if not in the drops for me. Maybe its a fit thing
PhilDAS-
Maybe it's a fit thing
Maybe what is?
Here are the two variables I refer to re. levers. They both achieve the same thing but the Ridea CNC lever is by far a more practical design as it is well away from the clamp.
The cross top works, as it does for many others but it's not perfectThere's no options because there's no need to have levers that close to the clamp
If the lever was any further outboard it would be really awkward to reach when riding on the tops.
Hope this clarifies my original question.

When I'm in a situation where I may need my brake, which to be fair, isn't often, I'm on the tops.
Mostly I'm on the sides (roughly where hoods would be); headwind, hills or giving it some beans = drops.
