I was a little nervous with the bar-end shifters, but I actually really like them, and prefer them to the brifters on my other bike.
Hope this helps!
I picked up a 2014 CC in December in the hospital foam green. How do you like the bars? I ended up hating them. The ergo bend didn't work for me, the drop was too much, and it put the hoods too far forward.
I ended up swapping out the bars for a FSA compact set that was also more narrow, and a stem with a higher angle rise.
chronicled the swap here:

that stem shown though - i swapped it for a 15* salsa guide stem.
