Down tube shifters are too inconvenient. I like my STI.. I could not ride any other way.. Tourer friends say you'll have issues with STI's endurance issues.. Nah.. I'll take the risk. If I am going on a really big tour. I'll maintain or replace them in preparation for the tour. Does not mean I have to replace my touring bike's shifters with high end models.
