I'm not getting a wet butt anymore since I got mine. I'd wait at work for the rain to stop only to get a soaked backside anyway. it's made a huge difference to my comfort level.
I've got one of those quick release detachable ones. My main grief with it is it moves around a LOT.

On a recumbent a front fender prevents you from getting a lap or face full of Gawd Only Knows What
The back one keeps the stripe off the backside of your head.
Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

Fenders are IMO more important for commuting than long rides - street grunge is grungier! And... what everybody else said too :-) and they help add to one's Fred Factor~

Hey,speak for your own roads. You ever raced on rainy rural roads during tomato harvest? Fenders sure would have been nice.
