no i'd go 10sp road and change the cassette and brifter too ..... with super compact up front i could get away with a less wider range cassette too

Really is the better solution, however the small disadvantage is that the modern road front derailleur may not cope well when you go smaller than says, 46/30 and that is even pretty optimistic as my front derailleur performance is a little lacklustre (abet still work) compare to the 50/34 it was originally optimised for.

You'll be using some kind of cable adjusters {tanpan / jtek) with the 10 speed MTB dearileuers though, so more reason to keep the 9 speed :)
