Congratulations.
You never mentioned if you are getting a dynohub on the front or not. I did not on my first touring bike, did not on my second one, but decided to get one for my Nomad. Not so much for lighting, but for having a USB charger. I build up my own wheels so for me the cost difference was the hub cost vs the cost of the regular hub I would have otherwise bought - plus the cost of a light/USB charger.
