'obsolete' is a strange choice of word to describe a system with good interchangeability and spare component support...
and me-too-ism is the worst reason for spending a fortune on new parts IMHO.
What next, I wonder...? Another new gruppo when someone with 105 looks down their nose at your new tiagra...?
Many riders (myself included) think that many compact double setups are just plain daft, because they inevitably leave you running cross-chained too much of the time.
If you want to go quicker/further, do some more training; the bike spec will be making 0.0-something % difference here; the big things after training are riding position and tyre choice, not other people's (largely fashion-driven) views on how your gears are arranged.
cheers

Re: Tiagra groupset
Ok I have decided to change my shifters with the Claris versions as the thumb changer really does my head in and leave the triple. Thanks everyone for your advise
