I'm one who doesn't prefer the thumb button, and would like it less on a off-road gravel style bike. I can grip the hoods securely when riding my drop bar MTB down a rocky trail and shift reliably with Shimano STI levers. I have 10 speed Campy on my Casati and I have to move my hand up off the hood to shift the thumb lever. Not a tragedy, but not optimal for me.
Wondering if that new thumb button would make a difference, but not going to change out any of my bikes to try it out - no need.

Does anyone find that the gear change lever on the side of the hood (the right hood for this new equipment) gets in the way of a natural hand position for the thumb when not changing gear?
