I believe they are slightly more supple and stave off flats a bit, no?
They'll lose about 15 PSI overnight. I'd guess about 3-5 PSI during a century, but I've never checked. I haven't flatted one, so the durability issue seems to be a non-issue. But they do ride nicely.

I start mine at 110PSI before every ride, and don't really notice and change as I ride. I'll have to check after the next long ride and see.
