No. The Veloce calipers are fine. The biggest difference between any calipers is in the pads.

Check out this link from campagnolo.com for a side by side comparison. There's the weight, the finish, orbital adjustable brake shoes on the chorus plus there's a few other bits and pieces I'm sure.... like bearings!

Surely you can just swap out the pad holders and hardware to get the orbital adjustment.

Then add some nice brake pads.

Use the money you saved to buy some nice new tires.
