I'm 6'0", 200 lbs. Both the RRls and Shimano Tiagra (and similar Shimano levers) work very well for me.
I find the distinction to be more in the areas of reliablility, ease of setup, and usability than comfort. Although I ride in a more "aerodynamic" posture than most on this list, the feel of both levers in my hands is not significantly different.
