Well I don't know about Marathon Plus, but if you planning on fitting a set of Dutch Perfects you're going to need some 8 inch metal tyre levers - they're really really hard to fit (and remove).
So now they're on, I hope the puncture strategy is that a flat is not merely less likely but almost impossible - you don't want to be dealing with these at the roadside - trust me. I'll have to carry around these heavy tyre levers now, maybe a better strategy would have been to stick with a tyre/rim combo that's easy to work with and deal with the punctures as and when they arrive. We'll see.
I guess all you can do is keep the pressure up to minimize the risk of pinches, and keep your fingers crossed.

I had no difficulty fitting a 20" Marathon Plus to my front wheel a couple of months ago. I haven't yet had cause to find out how hard it is to remove.
