Eh ... once you shake things out it's not that bad. Definitely more durable tires though ... I commute on a CX bike, and commuted the first couple of times on the stock knobbies ... had a flat within a week or so.
Once I swapped out the tires, I haven't really spent much more. I don't run fenders, though I've consider a clamp on for the rear.
