I've read a few threads on MTBR that the cush core is holding up for three or four tires, whereas some of the other options discussed are only holding up for one. But that's for enduro racing where on the one hand they are expected to get mashed all the time but on the other hand the tires are really soft and don't last a thousand miles. In a gravel bike where it's not getting smashed all the time and a tire can last for a few thousand miles, I dunno.
