I fully agree. I found the difference in ride quality between the Ruffy Tuffy and Rol-y Pol-y to be striking. While supremely puncture resistant, the RTs have a thuddy feel. By contrast, the RPs roll way smoother.
I haven't tried the JBs blues with kevlar, but I find that the JB greens (sans Kevlar) have a very similar feel to the RPs, just a little more cushy.
