Has anyone used these tyres?

They sound very good.

Just wondered what they were like to fit. Are they worse better than Scwhalbe Marathon plus??

    i use them. they are very puncture resistant and so good for the city. however, they are a very deadening ride and a bit hairy in the wet

    I have used the Spesh All Conditions Pro's which appear to be similar (They have "Flak Jacket" puncture protection, not "Armadillo" - not sure of the difference in practice). They have kevlar beads so they are folders, and light. 4000 miles, no puncture, they seem to give a good ride and no shortage of grip in wet or dry. I would imagine they would be similar in use to the Elite, though Pader's experience suggests otherwise. They are about a quid less than the elites.
