they are also supposed to help with stability giving the bike a lower centre of gravity. also if you head to certain places touring 26inch tires are going to be the easiest to find.
i opt for 700c its what i'm used to and they roll better on roads which is where i ride most.
i'd not checked out the soma saga, it does look like a well designed touring frame.
i think the specialized tricross has braze ons for rack and mudguards too. the 2009 was lighter and better than the kona jake. but cyclocross bikes are very versatile.
