Suntour Power Shifters vs. Cyclone Friction
I've got a bike I'm rebuilding that had first-generation Suntour Cyclone shifters on it. These were well-known due to their extremely light weight (~60g) and are quite handsome... However, I really enjoy using Suntour ratching Power Shifters and have had great experience with their reliability in the past. I have a set sitting here that I can substitute for the Cyclone if it seems logical. So there's my question?
I'm looking to build something reliable but I'm also intrigued by the Cyclone. Is it worth trying them out, or were they crap for some reason or another?

(p.s. Yes, I know the proper way to tighten the Cyclone shifter band onto the down tube without tightening the actual shifters... I read quite a bit of controversy about that!)
