Thought so 
I was in Barnsley today, so dropped into Planet X. Have to say I was not impressed, utter mess, more like a jumble sale, sod all components and mumbling staff more worried about the printing than serving.
Not going there in a hurry again.
pfft

Nearly taken out on the way home by an asian lady (<- word used loosely) driving while on the phone. Pulled straight across the front of me while i was doing 25mph downhill in damp conditions.... Not great. On a good note the next vehicle down the hill was an ambulance should he have been required.
Video evidence going to the police again

on the subject of tiagra vers ultegra brakes yes the ultegra brakes are far superior but so are the brakes pads you are using if you put good quality pads in tiagra they will improve and it could be a cheaper option than buying ultegra brakes

Ultegra Callipers Ordered :-), not only is it about great power but about shedding a few grams here & there
Brake shoes are 'best' ones can't recall the brand now but not cheap.
Now rather than go to the expense of buying a carbon seat post to get rid of a few more ounces are there any thoughts on cutting down the seat post? Mine is like a frikin' ice berg under the clamp. Is there a calculation to do as to how much below the clamp you need?
I figure if I get rid of some I reckon I'll be able to slide a motor down.... er forget I said that

^greater power, not great power, because that comes with great responsibility and if I was into that I wouldn't need better brakes.
