Well, that was weird. I tried to simply paste a link.

Anyhoo, I currently have Clement Strada 28mm tires crammed in there, but I find myself seduced by the gumwalls and absurd, audiophile-like claims of how vastly better these would be, best ride one can have with one's clothes on, etc.

Is it just hype? Do these really feel that much better? Am I going to get flat tires every 300 ft?
I have been using them since they started offering them. 38mm/35mm/28mm on different bikes. I think they are the best tires available and worth the money. I liked them better than any Panaracer tire ( they are manufactured by Panaracer but designed by Compass there is a difference. Not simply a re-brand) and they replaced Vittoria Hyper Randos in 35mm & 38mm. I have had one flat in the time since I switched over. That time frame is 3 or 4 years now? Not sure.

Anywho life is short and its only money.
