Will a 5700 front mech work with 5600 shifters? Bought a 5600 groupset from Merlin with a clamp on front mech, but the new frame needs a braze on.

Ribble have a 5700 front mech for a decent price, but it says

"For use with 105 ST-5700 or Ultegra ST-6700 shifters only for optimum shifting performance"
