I thought about that after I had answered - though I'd argue that the "Rapidfire Plus" style of under bar mounted shift paddles - regardless of whether they're part of the lever or not, fulfil the same role as roadie brake/shift levers in that one can brake and shift without having to remove one's hands from the bar - unlike a thumb shifter mounted atop the bar on a mtb, or a downtube/bar end style shift lever on a road bike.
Dual Control did blow, though...
