One thing not mentioned here is the effect of having more cable housing and two more housing ends. It may not matter nowadays with modern, nearly frictionless housings, but in the old days one noticed a marked improvement in shifting after switching from stem shifters to DT shifters. Bar-ends give back that marvelous directness.
