Assume it's to show a better pic of the second brake levers. And Ed is bang on the money about them. Wouldn't ride cross without them.
Whereas I wouldn't ride with them. Just think of the extra weight :-)
I only ever hold the tops of the bars when going uphill seated and brakes are the last thing I need. Most of my riding is on drops, followed by hoods.
