It's always a bummer when you cut an expensive tire, especially when it's fairly new. Maybe I'm reckless, but I think of tire cuts as EXTREMELY rare events. Moreover, the things that I've run over to badly cut a tire in my ~35 years of cycling usually would have cut ANY tire (once, a thick nail poked a hole in the RIM).
My thing is, if it's going to happen about once every 5 years or so, and if it's going to ruin any tire, then I might as well spend those 5 years riding on nice-riding tires. If you, Hugh, can somehow be sure that the thing that cut your Hetre is going to happen really often and if you can know that there is a tire that won't be cut by that same thing, then you can sensibly argue that there's a cost-benefit trade off that makes more sense. I just don't see how you could know either of those things. If that's the case, you are investing in peace of mind, which is fine, of course. Me, I'd continue to invest in ride quality.
