In my humble opinion the DTSwiss lever is the perfect lever. Turn it until it is tight and re-position it to where it belongs. Perfect and simple. I wish this was how it worked on forks. It still seems odd to me after this many years I still need to open and close a QR a few times until I get the perfect tension because I never seem able to make it happen on the first try.
That being said, the only QR I have ever broken was a DTSwiss rear lever that I caught on a rock on lower skull. It was fine, but I had to carry a crescent wrench around to open and close it until I got a rather expensive replacement.
