That being said, my 3 touring bikes all came with, and still have 27" wheels on them. I actually changed my 1986 Trek 400 Elance from 700C to 27" just so I could use some short reach brakes that wouldn't fit otherwise.
I figure when I get around to changing to 700C, I'd probably be riding on 32s anyway- the difference between 27 x 1 1/4 and 700C x 32 is pretty much negligible. As long as Panaracer is making the Pasela and the TourGuard Paselas I've really got no real reason to switch unless the wheels break.
