Basically, yes. I've been using a pair of Challenge Fangos for the past year and they are pretty robust and have shown no signs of damage from rot. I've just started using a pair of Rhinos and they offer noticed discernable difference (although I've yet to use them in really bad mud where they are meant to come into their element) to the Fangos. From what I've heard I can expect not much more than a season's usage out of a pair of Dugast before the area around the base tape will rot (and no amount of aquaseal can prevent this).
