I don't have any direct experience with invisible fences, so I can't say for sure - but I've heard from others who doubt their effectiveness on harder, high-drive dogs. But what you say makes sense.
For me, though, I'm not willing to risk it. Given the level of determination he's shown, I wouldn't put it past him to go right through an invisible fence, even if he knew that it would cause him intense pain, if what he wanted on the other side was important enough. The other reason I'd never have one, of course, is to protect him from other dogs, people, law suits, etc.
There is a family not too far from my house that had two puppies contained by an invisible fence, and their house is on the corner of a very busy intersection. Scares me to death.

The key is a quality fence(adjustable correction level, width of correction zone adjustable and battery maintenance) and training. It takes me about 30 to 60 days to train a dog to the fence. That`s a couple short sessions every day. Flags are down usually in 90 days. My fence is not for totally unsupervised containment or spending the day alone. It is for working in the yard, garage, potty, play time, etc. It is just an E collar with a consistent correction when necessary.
