Yeah, you need all the power you can get with touring gear.
@jambon If you're worried about braking with cantis some of the £5 self-energising brakes might be a good shout if you're carrying loads of gear, then you could swap them for normal cantis when you're not touring perhaps. People use these ones on tandems and tourers. I would struggle to get enough power out of normal cantis when touring I think though it depends on the mix of parts.
