I can't think of a single thing a Heron would do that a Sam would not do. Replacing a Sam with a Heron seems like a lateral move at best. What itch are you scratching? Are you just bored with your Sam and want something new? Is your Sam the wrong size? Personally I would take a Samuel Hillborne over a Heron touring six days a week and twice on Sunday. I would consider the Heron more "traditional" looking, and if you wanted to be unkind about "traditional" you'd call it "dated". Now don't get me wrong, I love traditional looking bikes and own a couple of them. Also I think the Heron touring is definitely a nice bike. I would not mind having a Heron touring in my stable as an N+1 in addition to a Sam, enabling me to do two different kinds of builds on the two bikes, but I can't think of any reasons why I would want to replace my Sam with a Heron touring.
