I forgot you'd had much better luck!
Mine aren't extralight so we're not quite comparing apples and apples, but I'm perhaps being a bit unfair on their p******e protection. I might try them (tubed, as neither I or my LBS could make them work tubeless) for commuting as I'd like bigger tyres and gumwalls and I already own them...

I'm running Extralight Jon Bon Jovis on my wet weather commuter. They are tubeless. They work pretty well (although not in the G-one plug and play sense).
I quite like the temperamentality of them - you never quite know what pressure they'll be at - pop a bit more air and/ or gunk in them and they'll perk up again - bit like me.
They are supersupple, very comfortable and roll over the challenging parcour of my inner London journey to and from the workplace beautifully.
Also you never know when you might get a chance to stop and smell the roses in the Regents Park inner circle to pump them up a bit before attempting Primrose Hill or the Heath.
By contrast the G Ones on my gravel/ dry commuter bike just work very well. I get places faster on that bike - but I'm not sure it's more fun though.
