Hugh It's a $320 experiment, but it would be a really cool experiment. You could buy a set of Soma Grand Randonneur tires in both the light and fast (green label) version and the stout and rugged (blue label) version. Ride them both on the road and see if you hate the rugged Blue Label version. Ride them both on your trails and see if the Blue Labels hold up in the conditions in which your Hetres got sliced. Let us know how it worked out. Jan-types would predict the green labels are a lot faster and have few enough flats that it's worth it. Others might say they both ride fine, and the extra stoutness is worth it.
