Shifting in the drops is probably my favorite little gimmick...the paddles are nice and big and easy to reach, and yes, you can comfortably pull the right one back to the bar and drop to a smaller cog with a light flick of the wrist (going back up the cassette is a little bit too much, I tried, that won't work) - VERY handy for sprinting...hands stay solid on the bars so you can focus your energy on smooth, fast out of the saddle acceleration.
