Ok, here's where I stand in goathead country. Before reading Mr. Patrick Moore's last two posts to this thread, my exasperation pushed me to order Marathon Plus Tour 700x40 for the Hilsen. Even at the recommended minimum pressure, these 940g behemoths felt incredibly harsh and sluggish on chip

So since I've had my hip replaced, I'm doing more walking/hiking. It is really easy for me to ONLY ride, because I like it so much, but I was having some pain in the replaced hip (nothing like the pain that brought the replacement about) and I had a sense that I needed to walk more. So I did.

Thanks for the guidance. First, the Hunq is a 58cm, so it's got 700c wheels. As does Homer. Next, I'll be working quite a lot and prefer my precious ride time to be for riding, not fixing flats. So with the information I've gotten, I'm going to go with sealant and just learn from my mistakes
