Yeah, admittedly I haven't done touring distances on mine. I've never found it uncomfortable but it is stiff.
I've taken mine ('10, 105) to Slovenia for a week but the longest day was ~140km. It'll be doing the 200k Dragon ride in June then a stack of climbing in July.
actually my budget was £1500 ish, but 1700 I could maybe stretch to. 105 for 100 quid more or Apex though....
That Apex 11-32t cassette is nutso.
