Tougher? Maybe. More readily repairable? Absolutely!

Yes, one of the things I've heard several times from people who were around
at the time was that fixing a bullet hole pretty much anywhere on a Spitfire
involved beating a new panel, whereas there were plenty of places a bullet
(or even a cannon shell) could go through a Hurricane without hitting
anything vital, and sticking a couple of patches over the holes made it as
good as new.
