Depending on how your chainstay clearance looks, you can also just replace the 7 speed cassette with an 8 speed cassette. You'll need the levers, stops that bolt on to the shifter bosses and new cables/housing. That's it, I can't begin to guess at the reasoning that would have you swap the entire drivetrain, the tri-color series included STI levers for pete's sake.
