Yeah. I use Veloflex clinchers with latex tubes when racing as they're about half the price of tubs and I can't really tell the difference.
Veloflex, the king of open tubs in my opinion.
Been migrating all wheels to 25mm recently (I'm conservative) even better ride.
Tubulars are wonderful and all the joo-joo surounding them is all fine and dandy but for any use less than competition one has to wonder if they are worth it these days?
Bsample-
Tubs are a bit like listening to a vinyl record - sure you can probably listen to music quicker with your phone, and the difference in sound isn't really going to be that noticeable. The reason people still buy and play vinyl is for the object itself, and the ritual of playing a record.
I actually like the gluing process (no, I'm not sniffing) and that has me coming back to tubs every now and again.

The main advantage of tubs is you can pick up really cheap top-end wheels second hand when mamils realise they're a bit of a faff
