I say heck with the good deal available and get something practical for your needs. Maybe a clip on type fender for the front.

I got race blades to deal with some of these issues. They go off in about 15 seconds and on in about a minute. Though I do miss the full coverage rear fender (but not too much since full fenders are on my other bike

) The race blades were a steal though 11 bucks!!!
