I've been wondering the exact same recently, had 6 punctures in 6 rides last Feb / March when some hedges had been cut near me and friends had loads as well so we all switched to puncture protected tyres which pretty much stopped it but I know I could probably run something a lot lighter / nicer feel to it if I went tubless especially as all ours have been thorns.
FlasBazbo .... you've just answered one query I had about the frequency of maintenance .... how easy is it to top up the fluid if it needs it on both Presta and Schrader.
