I'd like to get a cyclocross bike and have my heart pretty much set on the Norco Threshold. Jut need to decide on which model.

Nice bike.
The jump from A3 to A2 is more than just sora to tiagra. You get the carbon fork for that too, so a worthwhile jump.
From A2 to A1 is only 200 beans, and is more discretionary. Still 105 is often described as bulletproof as it's unfailing. I'd probably drop the extra dough for that little jump up too.
