The ride quality on RFT's is subjective - just like trying to answer the same question for 19/20" wheels and sport suspension. You have to make up your own mind based on all the factors. Having an easy time from the wife, who may be a regular driver, if she got a puncture will be 'worth more' to some more than others!
I have non-rft as I prefer lower noise and allowance for poor UK road quality. Plus during my driving career for the number of punctures I have had is not worth making an allowance for. OK - for sure, the next time I get a flat it will probably be when on holiday or at a time when the whole family is onboard, however, I can live with that.
I also think using a can of emergency repair on a standard tyre that may well ruin it is no worse than a non-repairable RFT - I also own my F25 so I have to pay for the rubber.
