I did the fattystripper last year. I agree - installation was a breeze and it held air well. The worry that I had was with a trail side repair. If I have to remove the tire to put a tube in, I have to replace the strip. With a good tape job, I should be able to remove the tire at least a few times.
In addition, I swap between studs in the winter and regular tires in the summer. That means at least two sets of strips each year. For me, they became less valuable.
