But don't buy the Sora triple. It breaks. I had three (multiple bikes) and one-by-one they all broke in the exact same way. When I got the three for my bikes, my mindset was "inexpensive ones work just as well." That has still almost always been the case for me, and I can't speak about other models. But just don't buy that Sora.
(A part of the arm that is supposed to anchor the tensioned spring just sheared right off making it impossible to have any tension. Over the course of a year and a half, each of the three bikes developed the same no-front-shift symptom.)
