I was seeking the same but then just bought the whole groupset yet to be made its way onto a bike. Shimano made a point about lever throw and hood shape so I assume its better not that I have had any issues with R785s.
@Dick has the R9170 levers but with old calipers so his experience doesent really count. Plus he has never had R785's
I want someone who has ridden R785 and the old flat mount calipers, SRAM hydro (etap HRD) and new Shimano
I ran R9170 Shifters with the NEW RS785 Calipers - so they were a different design to R785 nameley by the fact they no longer used the banjo’s, plus I used the BH90 brake hose for higher pressures...
