I've ridden a DT shifter bike a few times on some longer rides. I found myself shifting only very slightly less, and that was only because I had fewer gears, not because of the shifter location. When my legs tell me to shift, I shift. Then again, I had indexed DT shifters, so that made it a bit easier.
