A Canadian C-C may need more luggage than a Euro tour. If you need full size panniers then longer chainstays will help the bike handle more easily with more of the weight inside the wheelbase.

Note that when panniers are fully loaded the profile tends to bulge and round out so you can only check heel clearance by experience not calculation.
