Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres for a Dahon?

After repeatedly getting punctures on my Mu P8 which currently has Marathon Racers (quite worn out now) I've decided to replace them with Marathon Plus' because of their superior puncture resistance, but I've a few questions:

Are the Marathon+ the same size as the Marathon Racers? The reason I ask is that the Mu's wheels are quite narrow so I'm concerned that a bigger/wider tyre may not fit the wheel properly and/or may interfere with the mudguards.

Also, I've heard that Marathon Pluses are difficult to fit - any comments from M+ users?
Finally, what's the ride and handling like?

TIA

Johno
