Niagara Cycle Works has the nicer Tektro levers for essentially the same price, and I remember reading a number of threads last year when I was in the market for new levers, the Tektro 200a levers were much better regarded than the Nashbar ones.

I ended up getting a set of each (Nashbar and Tektro) and the Tektro do seem better finished (nicer shaped) and bit more robust. I don't have either set installed yet, but will have them on bikes this spring and plan to do a comparison.
I bought two sets of the Tektro 200a this past fall and put them on my Trek and Raleigh. They were easy to install and look very nice. I paid $23 at the LBS for them.
