Travel Agents?

What do you all think of Travel Agents? I'm sick of the difficulty of adjusting cantis with unthreaded pads, and I got a nice set of V-brakes thanks to the Pay-It-Forward thread. I figure a nice set of new-style cantis that take V-brake pads would cost me $40, while Nashbar has Travel Agents for only $20. Do V-brakes work well with aero levers and travel agents?

Also, Nashbar sez these Travel Agents are made for working disc brakes with road levers: http://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?c...All%20Products But AFAIK, disc brakes have nearly the same mechanical advantage as V-brakes, so those Agents should work with V-brakes too, right?
