Do my old, used, Dura-Ace SPD-R pedals have any value to speak of? Or, have sprinters all found suitable alternatives at this point?

Are you sure?

I have some SPD-Rs and then transitioned to SPD-SL. I remember Shimano producing a delta compatable cleat between those two. Was the cleat you speak of prior to the SPD-R era?
