i have some dura ace/slr aero levers i'm more than likely going to pair with the brakes, and read on a blog that you set the anchor to the appropriate type of lever you're using. okay....but, what difference does it make in performance in "norm" vs "slr"? how is the design/response/feel different? otoh, i have "normal" levers....ie. cane creek SCR-5 and some sram S500 levers...i could use, too
SLR has the spring tension split between the calipers and the levers- so all the spring tension is not at the caliper to pull open the brake, pull the cable back and pull the levers back to the start position.

The SLR brake/lever combination is generally more smooth.
