I also have a very nice gravel bike with Shimano GRX shifters. They work very well but it took me most of last summer for my hands to learn Shimano shift
None at all, this is a purely theoretical exercise at this point

I've never used Shimano levers, only Campagnolo and I really like them. The only reason I was considering 12-speed Ergopower levers is the information I had said they had the same cable pull as 11-speed Shimano. How would the 11-speed Ergopower levers work? Isn't the cable pull different?
