Depending on where you live you might consider the Gatorskins for winter months when there is extra debris on the road and the 4 Seasons for the rest of the year. I live in California and do something similar: I run 4 Seasons in the winter months and switch over to the GP4000sIIs once rainy season stops. I do find that the 4 Seasons feel a lot nicer than Gatorskins while providing impressive flat protection.
