I really don't notice the pull when shifting the FD cable. Maybe I am just used to it. Having three bikes, one with the Sensah Empire, one with a Microshift, and one with a Claris, I really don't notice too much differences in pull length. I guess in terms of mechanical properties of a lever, the higher the brake cable starts above the axis, the less force you have on the pull. But the braking on my Sensah feels better than my Claris groupset.
