The Carlton Bale article is good but it does have some omissions and mistakes. As an example:

This is not correct. The R785 levers work BR-RS805 calipers as well. Shimano even bundles them in a kit which comes in a single box. I run this on my bike.

Part of the problem is that his article does not have a published date, at least not that I saw, so it is impossible to tell if he is referencing older information or if Shimano has released newer parts, updates, etc.
