So have I but if you were to take the average distance between punctures then Marathon Plus wins by a mile.
But, I found them very heavy and they roll pretty poorly. They also square off which makes cornering a bit wobbly.
I changed to Durano Plus and these are a decent compromise for very high mileage and low p_nct_re rate. They are also quite heavy compared to training or racing tyres but that just means you go faster on your good bike.
I've also used the Durano which are lighter again without the blue strip but still more durable than your average training/racing tyre by a long way. I've run thousands of miles through most of these tyres and I'd probably not bother with Marathon Plus again but Durano Plus or Durano I would use for the road. Durano Plus probably rear only (even though I have one on the front of the Kinesis now, it's a bit overkill).
