Dura Ace 7900 calipers on other brake levers

I know Shimano says the new 7900 calipers can only be used with the
new 7900 or 6700 STI levers. But has anyone used the 7900 calipers on
Campagnolo Ergo levers? If so how did they feel, perform, etc.

7900 calipers have slightly more mechanical advantage so require more
cable pull. I read somewhere that Shimano didn't recommend using
anything but the 7900 levers to pull them, but said that the 7900
levers would pull other brakes OK. However, I bet in practice that you
probably just need to set your pads pretty close to your rims if using
Centaur levers so you don't run out of lever. Seems to be a futile way
to spend and mix unless you have a team sponsor.
