Don't sweat the RFTs! They are a bit clunky but IMHO are worth it. It's my wife's daily driver and I feel much better about her driving around alone knwoing the RFTs will be able to get her home if one goes flat.
I'd actually prefer the RFTs in the back country over a space saver spare for several reasons. First you'll need to also carry a jack and accessories. Changing a tire on a fire road can be a pain. I know from experience. Also, if your half way up your favorite trail and you get a flat you're more likely to get back with the RFT than the semi-bald space saver especially if traction is a concern. Also, what happens if you are super unlucky and your thinned rubber space saver tears on a rock, then your really in a bind.
