Avid BB7 Road disc brakes and STI levers - Experience?

Putting a new build together with disc brakes and road components. Anyone out there have experience with BB7 Road disc brakes and Shimano STI levers? These brakes are supposed to have been designed to work with road levers, but I have always heard that road levers won't let you use all of the stopping power of the brakes.

Also, I'm not completely decided on levers. I have Ultegra STIs on my current ride, but thinking about bar-end shifters and some undetermined brake levers on drop bars for this build. Also could go with the shifters on the downtube since I have the braze-ons for them.

Thanks,
Mark
