Its a distinct possibility that with some better routing and a nice pair of friction barcons the OP would like them better, but that has been said off and on throughout the thread.
My Accushift bar ends have a friction setting (which is what I use, as I have been unsuccessful at getting them to index properly), but maybe some models are index-only(?) Mine work just fine on the friction setting.
