They sound like a nice update - I am pretty pleased with the table tops, but they are SO noisy, but nice and light compared to the Big Apples I run in the winter.
I'd like to try the new Marathon Almotion, which look like a fast rolling and lightweight version of Big Bens.

The almotion looks like a really nice touring option. There‘s two versions of the billy bonkers, the performance addix compound version and a cheap version with wire beads. I treated myself to the former but the latter is/was available for 13€ here. I still like the table tops but I have moved them onto my more (light) off-road focused neo retro 26er since they‘re indeed a bit loud on tarmac.
P.s. keep in mind that I peeled off the billy bonkers logos which was quite a pita. But I really didn‘t like the shouty look and would say that it was worth the effort from an aesthetic pov.

I also have the old table tops and the billy bonkers are a little more quiet and faster. They are still more noisy than proper slicks, on some grounds they sound kind of like an electric motor. I quite like them because they‘re very grippy in corners and very pleasant to ride over sandy roads which are very common around berlin. They‘re also pretty light. I haven‘t had any punctures yet but I have my doubts that they‘re a super durable touring tyre. If I were to use it for a longer tour, I‘d probably go for something more solid and better puncture protection.
