I may have to try that IRD FD. I've never been happy with the shifting on my triple 9 speed Tiagra 4503 and XT mullet build. I started with brifters and later moved to drop bar with the nice XTR trigger shifters. Bike is a Jamis Aurora Elite with long chainstays, which I assume would make shifting better. Tiagra 50/39/30 triple up front and 9 speed 11/34 cassette in the rear. A Shimano (M772 maybe?) Deore XT shadow RD and Tiagra FD. No matter what I get chain rub even with trimming and I find I have to increase cable tension too much to get consistent shifting into larger cogs which sometimes misses on down shifts. I've had my hanger checked for alignment and it's just something I've learned to live with.
