XTR (and XTZ !!!) - Tourance or Tourance Next ?

I've just finished 21 days of adventure riding on the XTR in the Great Oz Outback ... basically Darwin to Esperance via the Great Central Road ... then a mad sprint home to Melbourne across the Nullabor (naturally observing all the appropriate speed limits)

This was done on a new set of Dunlop D606's ... but which are now well and truely absolutely stuffed

So time for new shoes ... I would normally run Heidenau K60's but to be honest I've kinda had enough of the vibes and the road noise for a while so I'm looking at more road oriented rubber ...

I didn't really have any problems with the OEM Tourances but wonder whether the Tourance Next's might provide a slightly more sporty option

Soooo ... any thoughts or experiences out there ?
