Replacing dual control levers.
On my commuter, the right hand dual control brake lever is a bit iffy, and I want to replace it. Whilst I am replacing it I have been thinking about upgrading the front brake to a Magura rim brake. This means that I will also have to replace the quick fire rear derailier control. (8 speed shimano). Is this the gear control I need? http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ProductDetai...gger%20Shifter Shimano XT M740 Right Hand 8 Speed Trigger Shifter for £26.99 Is there a cheaper alternative, 27ukp seems a lot.

I think the issue is that we're talking 8 speed.

The only other option I can see is something like Alivio. All the current mid-high end shimano stuff has moved towards 9 speed.
