Pros
Egg beater plus platform, whats not to love?
Cons
Cleat wear
Review
These were my first clipless, and I am quite a fan, unless I become a weight weenie I doubt I will ever stray from these. Easy entry and exit, only time I failed to clip out it was my fault, not theirs. The platform is broad enough if you, like myself, sometimes need to make a run to the market and don't feel like putting on tap shoes.
Pros
Light Weight, Mud Shedding, Smooth Rotation, Small But Usable Platform
Cons
Confidence Curve, Cleat Wear
Review
I replaced my platforms with these. It took a while to get the confidence factor up as I was concerned about being clipped in. Biggest problem is cleats wearing out from being walked on. Great overall!

Pros
Entry/exit ease (for a while). Lighweight. The small platform helps clip-in when starting on technical terrain.
Cons
Soft brass cleats wear out too fast.
Review
My complaint with these isn't so much with the pedal as with the cleats. When new, the cleats can be tough to clip in. Once broken in, they're sweet. Unfortunately, the soft brass goes from broke in to too worn in far too short a time. In the end, I went back to my old Shimanos because I got tired of swapping out cleats.
Cons
not a whole lot.
Review
it is quite a bit stickier than my eggbeaters. Don't know why. I love the platform though.
