I totally agree that mudguards are a courtesy. They are also very good for keeping you drier than without them. I used to commute on my TCR Hybrid with SKS Race Blades and then I upgraded to a winter frame with eyelets so got a proper set of guards. What a difference.
I ride that bike all winter and have upgraded it gradually to a decent machine. It is steel and heavier than my best bike but then at this time of year you can't hoon into or out of the corners or you'll be on your arse or face.
Horses for courses. Perhaps keep the Hewitt and use it for audaxes in the poorer weather but get the other for nice days when you wanna fly and enjoy yourself.
