I've heard this all before... I don't buy it.
It's possible to justify any cycling purchase if you spend enough time convincing yourself of the relative benefits.
I could submit my own batch of anecdotal evidence that tubs are no more reliable than clinchers and that pitstop doesn't always work, here (I started writing it and everything.. ) - but the bottom line is is; your ability to repair/boot a clincher and it's tube by separating the tyre into component parts makes them so much more useful for day-to-day training.
