Anyone use Vittoria Peyote tires?

I was about to get another Vittoria Mezcal to replace my worn rear tire when I saw they have another XC option called the Peyote. According to Bicyclerollingresistance.com tests, it's faster rolling and offers comparable puncture resistance to a Mezcal with the same casing. The downside is it's only available in the XC Race casing, which I don't think is as durable as the XC Trail casing that the Mezcal is available in.

I was wondering if anyone had experience on the Peyote and how it compares to the Mezcal XC Trail casing when it comes to durability. I do about 4,000 km of riding per year on this bike, which is about half mixed-terrain bikepacking trips, and other half gravel day-rides and commuting. My goal is to get a tire that will last the year.

Thanks in advance!
