There's also availability to think about. Touring bikes are a relatively small portion of the bicycle market. Any bike shop you walk into will have mountain bikes and road bikes. They'll also likely have hybrids and maybe some cruisers, cyclocross, or folding bikes. But touring bikes? They're getting more and more difficult to find. In most shops, you'll be lucky if they carry a single model and have one built-up in your size...
