There is not such thing as '09 Xenon. The last year for Xenon and Mirage was '08. Xenon shifters from '07-'08 have the limited function escape mechanism, while the '05 Veloce has the same mechanism found in the higher levels of that year.

$70 may sound cheap, but if the shifters are used and don't include cables, it's too much. You can get brand new Veloce 10 shifters with cables for only about $120 from Ribble.

The '09+ models are entirely different than anything before, with a new brake hood shape and new mechanism. Those shifters shoould not be used with Centaur or lower level RDs fron '07-'08.
