Brake Lever Recommendation
So I had a left hand Shimano BL-600 brake on my bike, however it wasn't as sturdy as the Shimano Ultegra Brake/Shifter so I went back to that, even though I don't need the shifter part. The Ultegra brake lever just felt smoother and stronger.
Can anybody make a recommendation on a sturdy left hand brake lever? I am using Shimano Ultegra brakes and would like to keep that if I can.
Thanks in advance.

Unique Vintage Steel
If you don't need the integrated shifting, I'd recommend the Tektro R200A, or the Cane Creek branded of the same lever. They are patterned after Campy egro levers and fit my hands really well.
