I had the Big Apple a long time ago. It was ok for the first 2 years, with occasional punctures.
I have the Big Ben Plus with Greenguard strip, for about 1.5 years, no punctures. It's a tight fit in the frame though, I had to trim notches into the fenders to get them to seat higher into the fork for a little bit more clearance to the tire. There is only about 3mm of gap at the closest point between the fender and the tire, but seems to be ok. The chain on small-small also is very close to the tire, but even closer to the fender, as I installed 60mm fenders. There is only ab out a 2mm gap between the chain and fender on small-small.
Also, if you want the greenguard, I think the specs for Big Ben Plus shows it being slightly lighter than Big Apple Plus. Don't know why. You can double check the specs.
