I know this isn't the same but the Ergos have an option for the second cable to route toward the front or back of the bar.
Initially I routed to the front and recently re routed toward the back.
In both cases, the housing was located to rout to a bottom exit of the bar tape.
In terms of comfort, I don't notice either cable, shift or brake on the bar except when my hands are on the bend. Then the bar feels a bit "wider" due to the cable on either side of the bar. I really don't think too much about it as I usually ride on the hoods.
