I'm afraid not. Many of the 27s I've come across have these same Arayas that I mentioned earlier, or something cheaper and crappier. The Arayas aren't bad, just nothing special.

I'm using Panaracer Paselas with Tourgaurd on my Univega and they seem to be pretty good, but as far as I know they only come in a 27 x 1 1/4. That being said, they look pretty skinny compared to the 700C x 32mm Paselas on my Nishiki.
