Agree to this in the sense that the supposedly obsolete 90's gear is in fact better made and probably lighter than contemporary Sora. I had old Shimano DX bar ends on my 8spd Nago Cx bike and Campag bar ends on my tourer: loved both for the reliability and performance and were pretty light groupsets too. Modern Sora probably has plastic internals and is v heavy so I don't see the point.
