suit yourself... just remember what i said about the pads being more important... and if your bike is drop bar, just finding the correct levers for v-brakes will be nearly impossible.
i hear tektro made some, once...

the flat bar levers come in two pull ratios, and you can determine their pull ratio by measuring the distance from the pivot screw to the cable pivot... under 27mm or so is Short Pull, for canti, sidepull, road disc etc... long pull is 32mm up to about 37mm... your new v-brakes will need the long pull levers.
if the levers on your bike now were correct for the cantis, then they won't work well on long V-brakes, ever.

i was just on the site you referenced... two different people just told someone that SRAM and Shimano shifters all have the same pull ratio, so "buy whatever ones the shop has in stock"..... the guy with the question actually believed them.....
good luck.
