How are the compared to DT ones for ease of use?

I really like using DT shifters but have never used bar end ones.
Im thinking of trying them on bike im building up from 8 speed spare parts. I would use the 8 speed DT shifters which I already have but the frame I want to build up doesn't have the DT mounts.
Also cable routing options looks less straight foward a longer run/more untidy with bar ends...
Other option is 8 speed claris STI.
Also found theese:

for mounting DT on the drops.

Given how cheap tiagra is, why not go 10 speed?0

Sorry, hit enter too soon. One option is a stem mount for down tube shifters. St johns street cycles is a good shout for this type of thing, or even a band on mount for down tube shifters.
I prefer STIs, and 10 speed fits on an 8 speed cassette, hence the suggestion for tiagra. It is not backwards compatible with older derailleurs though so you would need shifters and mechanisms, plus cassette and chain. They do a triple though!0
