Would these be better than my 2007 7sp sora shifters.
I dont really wont to upgrade to 9 or 10 sp with my current bike.

If you are tired of stupid thumb buttons, yes.
Not as stupid as a set of levers I had on a gitane in the 80's, positioned on the headstock, so every time you got out of the saddle to sprint and were in say 2 chances were you would catch it and drop all the way to 5 and you can guess the result, nice idea just didn't work.They are very much a trickle down from 2013 sora though. Wouldn't surprise me if they were exactly the same lever mechanically,minus a click.
It makes little difference if you race or not, the buttons are stupidly designed and shimano has realised it with the release of Claris.
Technically it's the replacement of 2300sti ("2400 Claris" as it's the new budget 8speed groupset. Sora itself has only recently acquired dual leversT.M.H.N.E.T has said it all. The Claris is the replacement of sora. The thumb shifter will soon trickle out of the range. 7,8 speed is slowly dying unless you start going in the MTB range of gear
Rear mech is fine, its last years (maybe still current) Acera so it will do 8 speed fine. With the Acera I have the option of going up to a 28 should I venture toward the Pennines, hardly go lower than a 30x19 or 21 (34x24 on a compact)yea it would be. i mean the majority of the cost as is with groupset are the levels so an 8 speed will cost about 80- 100 and rear mech is around 15-20 quid. possibly might get it cheaper this was done with a quick googling.

Story of my bike ad-hoc when it can be afforded , but it works, gets me around keeps me fitter, and I am as quick as some local riders on bikes almost 10x the price mine cost, well apart from when they ride in a group.Ahh that'll be fine then
Just the shifters
