2 comments, I have had STI bike using both the adapters you put on the break bosses (Miyata 1400 and DeRosa pro) and one with the adjusters on the head tube (Kirk)
I found no functionality difference only difference was cable length.
I would suggest looking into brass adjustors instead of aluminum, as corrosion is a concern. I have those on my Kirk and the have worked well so far
