Really? Do people do that? I just go click-click-click-click-click-click all at once. I've very rarely had an issue getting into a low gear by a light even if I was cruising in a high one... The only times were things like panic stops or when I totally wasn't paying attention, having a different shifter wouldn't have mattered much.
