I doubt Tim is short of practice
Bikers like to bang on about semi-pointless minor technical detail like the "Soul of a V-twin" but honestly boys, its mostly fashion. Tubed or tubeless, for the time difference over the life of a bike there is no real difference. Now the look of the bike in the show room; that sells as surely as not putting red shoes with a green handbag.
Why do Moto Guzzi offer both in the same range? 1. to gather the odd sale from techno nit-pickers and 2. to make sure both buyers of red shoes and green handbags come through the showroom door.
I'd choose tubeless in a free vote but no way would I spend anything to convert from tubed to sealed-with-shower-and-bath-gloop. Nor will I be buying any certain brand of bike to get one or the other. I've had 5 punctures in the last 50000 miles, four tubed one tubeless.
