I am pretty confident of lever placement after all these years -- and I hate taping, let alone re-taping bars. I've long since found the position that gives me the best toward a flat continuation of the ramp with adequate reach from the hooks, and with the new Maes bars that optimum compromise is a lot easier to find. Since I spend a lot of time in the hooks, I am sensitive to the issue you bring up.
Hoping my stomach (very recently ex-flu) will let me ride today...
