Yeah, that's kind of my point. Aside from the good example you cite of a quick-release vs. non-QR, I think a lever is a lever is a lever, right? (There is also v-brake vs. canti or caliper, but there is no chance the OP would use v-brakes with the AGC levers, so it's hardly worth mentioning in this case.)
