After tightening the levers on Talley QD rings can you move the levers up or down to any position like  the Warren QD's do?

No, not AFTER tightening.  However, before tightening, you can reposition the lever relative to the screw position, because the lever has a socket that slides over mating surfaces on the screw.

Ted.  So then You can pretty much position the levers where you want them, right?

Yes, but it's a little more of a hassle to do.  You basically have to tighten them first, see where the lever is positioned, untighten and reposition the lever on the screw, then tighten again.  In comparison, the Warne levers have a spring loaded feature where you can pull out on the levers, reposition them and snap them back after the screws are tightened.  This is the only feature of the Warne that I like better than the Talleys.  Otherwise, I think the Talleys are a little more elegant looking and better finished, but they are both quality rings.
