I've only had Campy for about a week but so far it hasn't been an issue. Because of the shape of the levers and position of the thumb button I have not problems reaching it with my fingers when I'm in the drops. It's also nice to be able to hold the paddle when in the drops but you can also do that with SRAM and have easy access to up and down shifts. With that said, having now ridden all three I still like the overall feel and performance of Shimano shifting
