Very nice, Have you considered 8 speed? There were 8 speed SIS bar end shifters. They are new enough that they should still be relatively easy to find, yet not being old enough to be collectible, they will be much cheaper than 9 speed. You will also still have the Hyperglide technology on the cogs. It should provide all the advantage of upgrading to 9 speed, less one cog, with good savings.
