Yes I caved and bought a pair of 28mm tanwall Veloflex from the Cycle Clinic while they had them today to avoid FOMO. The pair of Roubaix on my bike have been on for a few years and I had a sudden jolt to make sure I had spares - they're coming apart at the base tape.
Does seem that you'll always get some tubs, but not necessarily your choice of size or sidewall. Thanks for the input - I had a look around and found the Schwalbe's for £28 on eBay:

Rolling resistance is pretty poor for tubs somehow though!
