Recommend me some brake levers please.

I'm looking for some new drop bar brake levers. I like having a nice flat transition from my bars to the brakes, and I have fairly small hands. On my road bike I prefer SRAM stuff, but haven't had a chance to try the SRAM brake levers. Are they the ones I should go for? or is there something else (read cheaper).

They have the same ergonomics. RG sells em for cheap.

I use Sram. I'm happy with my Tektro R200 brake levers and they feel similar.
