This is interesting .... when I went from 6 to 7 cogs on my old Cannondale, I bought Tourney brifters .... and sent them right back. I used Claris and suffered with the extra click (the derailleur was locked out so it didn't drop the chain either side.)
I eventually went with Micronew, a Microshift clone---also with a button, but much better placed IMO ... and it has been faultless. I agree Tourney (unless it has been updated) doesn't interest me at all.
I stayed with the Claris left shifter because Shimano has dialed in trimming so well.
