Road Cycling - Campy shifters - like Sora??

Let me preface this post by saying that I never rode a bike with Campy, only Shimano..

I have ordered the new '04 Gray Centaur group for my new bike (sight unseen). Today I was in a bike shop and saw bike with this group. It looks really cool in the new gray!
However, I notice that the shifters have a pedal and thumb clicker for down shifting, kinda like Shimano Sora..
I assumed it will operated like Shimano where the shifting is done by pressing the little Paddle under the brake lever, and the brake lever itself.. How do you downshift from the drops??? Can you reach the thumb clicker from the drops?

yeah, the campy shifting works _like_ the sora but is far far better. i have no problem reaching the shifters from the drops, but i have big hands and hitch-hiker thumbs. i prefer the shimano STI shifters because it is actually harder for me to shift on campy from the hoods (i like to be far forward on
the hoods).

On Campy shifters the brake lever doesn't move, just the tab behind it.

Here are my thoughts on the subject from a previous thread (http://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.php?p=472434&postcount=14).

congratulations on your first campy shifters.. you'll love it.
