1. If you stick with what has been spec'd for your Trek you'll be OK. However, your older frame is size limited on the rotor @ 185mm. The more recent frame update with the I.S. rear drop-out and chainstay mods accommodate the 203mm rotors.
2. Be mindful how how much you're investing in your tandem; you will hit a tipping point where a new or new-used model that comes with all the newer carbon bits becomes more cost effective to acquire, less the resale of your current tandem. We were on a similar path with our first tandem and made the decision to sell it while it still had a lot of resale value and before too many other changes were made. Well, there were also some changes that couldn't be made and that too factored into the decision.
