IMO tubulars are not as difficult to deal with as most people think. There's a bit of a process sure but you get less flats(depending on where you live), the ride quality is superior, cornering is superior and they are actually safer. I can change a tubular flat in less time then i can a clincher but of course you can't high speed corner on your way home. New tires need to be stretched and the gluing process can take a bit of time. Of course there is a trade off but it's worth it imo especially on a stiff deep dish rim I would think. For a long time I trained on clinchers and raced on tubulars now I am like 90% on tubulars. Always have a set of clinchers in case you get lazy though.
my 2 cents.
