Personally, I prefer the term dual-control lever. And while I love them -- loved Shimano 9, loved Campy Record 10 -- I didn't like Shimano 10 and haven't been able to settle on a choice for a new set. I hate telling myself how much I like D/T shifters. I mean, I'm already a grouch but still ... I can't get over how much I like their ease, ergonomics and overall genius of design .. and I love that simultaneous one-handed front and back shifting. Heck, I'm currently running D/T shifters as preference over Shimano 10 dual control levers on my commuter bike these days ... in NYC traffic!
That said, Sram has my eye. I'd like to do a 1x set up with that crazy 10-/42 rear cassette on my commuter ... and one day I swear I'm gonna shave off my cable stops and go for that e-Tap system. Come on man: just 4 parts and no wires, cables or housing ... just bolt 'em on, pair 'em up and go. But first, lets see how the pros do next season all bunched up together mixing up wireless signals and all. I 'm happy to wait a few years for the wide range mtb/touring version anyway.
