To the OP: Consider trying the "reversed" setup. If, after a few rides to test the system, you can then decide to keep or convert. I now set up all my bikes with the right lever controlling the front brake. A number of years ago, some trauma affected the strength of my left hand so it made sense to use my strong hand for the most effective brake. I was worried about it at first, but found that hard braking was more reliable (and safe). Got all my strength back in my left, but would not think about reverting. Of course, if your left is your dominant hand, opt for Left-Front.
