I'm sure it is. Only problem for me is I didn't like the Sora shifter, and my choices was a Sora 9-sp vs a Tiagra 10-sp.
I went for Tiagra and it's great. It shifts better than an old Ultegra 9-spd that I had.
I'm still not a fan of the Shimano hood shape but i'll deal with that when stuff actually wears out.
