On the oregon outback I ran into a guy on an Elephant NFE who was running 11-speed Campy athena brifters (aka the nice silver brifters) with a Shimano 11-36 TEN speed cassette and XT derailleur. By attached the cable at a slightly differently location on the bolt, he was able to get perfectly indexed 10-speed performance with a wide-range shimano cassette, while using the more comfortable, reliable and rebuildable campy brifters. I was impressed.
