my cross tops feel much harder (less throw) and less powerful than the down lever any way - which is fine for everything except steep decent - when i'd really want my hands behind those curves anyway. it makes me think most cross tops are designed for use with v bakes. - and they won't have changed the pull ratio by much anyway - i'd say go for it.
do you know what the change in ratio is and which way?
