Joe,
Regarding the photo of the road lever/porter bar set up, it is just the camera
angle that makes the brake lever travel space look cramped. The brake hoods
slope down, much like MTB levers on a flat bar, so we are not viewing the plane
in which the levers travel. I like a lot of modulation
When I made the switch from drop bars to Albas, I wanted to leave as much bar
space as possible available for hand positions. That meant using reverse brake
levers and bar-end shifters mounted on Paul Thumbies located out on the curve.

Tom,
I like the road lever/porteur bar setup. I used to do something similar
with MTB levers on the front curve of Albas. Do you find there's enough
lever travel? It looks short in the photo.
Best,
