When I was starting my design process for Paul braking my Quickbeam everyone said to put touring on the rear. I measured my heel clearance and decided for my bike and fit, that touring would be unnecessary and neo-retro's would clear fine. However, a set of used touring in my preferred color came up either here or i-bob first, so I ended up going with them anyways. Definitely measure before you buy tho if you are only considering the touring for clearance problems, it might not be an issue for you.
