These might have been considered more like a cross grade, than a downgrade.

Thanks for that. I am familiar with the flexy Speedys, but not as much with the Pros. I did some research and found this version is held in some esteem. The levers do seem to be marked "Intern. Pat.", so not Speedys. If I pick this up, I will still replace them (I have a super-rare pair of Bianchi WC-milled Campy levers that will go on with some Campy calipers), but maybe someone on the Forum would like them
I figured Speedys since they seem more common. Anyone here can give an idea of Modolo Pro performance? I've never used them myself.
