£175 is a normal price for an ergoshifter lever that work with internal hubs really.
What I don't like about the Versa is that you have to push the shifter really far in in order to change gear rather than a swift shift, and of course you can't just skip a couple gear down.
Either the mechanic at work didn't adjusted it properly or it's normally like that.
Updated: at work, someone have the On-one Pompino with the Versa shifter, apparently it's a newer one that shift better (doesn't required a long push to change gear) and the downshift is on the left side instead of the right side (of the right levers), it's actually easier and better than the original one I've tried, so now I'm convinced that the Versa is a worthly hood levers to use with the Alfine.
Apparenty there's a VSR-11 one out already but somehow hard to find (for Alfine 11).
