Shimano ultegra 6700 brakes with 5700 STI levers?

Hi, i'm interested in buying some 6700 brake calipers, but im wondering if they will work normal with 5700 STI Levers. Ive read about how you cannot do this with like 5600 levers but nobody has said if they'll work with 5700. The 6700 brakes have a shorter cable pull so i've read but im unsure if 5700 will be able to handle this with no braking dis-performance? Thanks guys!

I'm just about to do this swap so will let you know how it works out. According to this compatability chart, however, it should work just fine.

5700 shifters will work with all super slr brake sets (excluding dura ace 7900). This means that it will work fine with 6700, 5700, 4600 brake sets.
