Couple years ago I test rode the Jamis Sputnik complete, which had drops with bar end levers.
Nice bike, but... riding in dense urban traffic I'm mostly on the flats so it makes no sense. Dudes at the shop thought the same. It was not well received, so Jamis changed it back to cross levers. However if you're mostly in the drops as you're saying, could be different. FWIW In urban riding the bar end levers I see are on bullhorns.
BTW man your handle, avatar and sig all get props.
