I hardly use the brifter's brake levers. Most of my time is spend on the hood (then top bar second and drop third) so I find it's easier and less straining to use the top bar levers than the brifters to brake. They work just as well as MTB brakes lever and don't find the closeness of the brake levers to the stem (they are not that close) affects the control of the bike.
