I don't often hear "cantilevers" and "be done with it" used together like that.

The thing I like about Travel Agents is that the setup is simple and provides good braking. With cantilevers, even if the brakes are working well, I always feel like I could make them better with just a bit more tweaking. Plus, in my experience, it takes a lot of time to get a cantilever adjusted to brake as well as V-brakes with Travel Agents.

Then there's the fork shudder issue....
