Well they are thicker. Don't know if they are defiantly stronger.
I think 8 speed is a bit too regressive now. But 9 speed shimano is a good point. You'll be able to use all the 9 speed deore stuff too.
Also if you want a whole new group from a shop now then 105 or Apex seems to be the way to go.
How hardcore is the tour going to be?
