To me, period correctness means it goes at the end of the sentence, so I don't care much about that. 
I do care about smooth shifting with the ability to trim the front particularly so there is not noise with every evolution scraping something or not lining up on the back. But I don't want to spend a lot on the bike as I would rather buy a new hard tail maybe or a Salsa gravel grinder some day to replace it. Converting to 9 speed, would my Ultegra 8 speed hub work ? Cant buy a new wheel. And I cannot find that the 2303 allows you to trim the front shift (if my terminology is right) ? Have never seen the shifter with a thumb and lever like it. Looks like it may have been replaced by 2403 too? Thanks for the input/help.
