Why would brifters have you on the drops more? I have brifters on 4 of my bikes and I ride on the hoods most of the time with very little time spent on drops, the rest of the time is spent all over the upper portion of the bars. I am on the hoods when I shift. I think shifting would be harder from the drops. I think when you get a new bike with brifters, you will be using the drops the same amount of time as you are right now.
