Indexed levers usually pose no added for doubles because as long as the amount of cable pull between the clicks is enough to make the shift (and it usually is), you can pretty much ignore the index and use the limit screws to set the inner and outer trim. The drawback of index FD levers is that with most you won't have the ability to fine tune the trim when riding slightly crossed over combinations.
