My only complaint with this pedal (and the White Industries version) is that they do not accommodate a slotted cleat. So, I'm sticking with my mod. 23s.
I haven't tried the MKS Urban Platform- I got it in my head that I REALLY wanted the WI pedals. Got obsessed with them- then didn't even take them out of the packaging for 6-8 months. There's not too many CNC looking bike things that I really like.
What I did notice RIGHT away is that either these pedals go forward of the spindle than the old pedals, or the toe clips are not bent in the same places as with my SP-11s (I'll have to measure). Since I ride a 54/21" frame- there can be some toe overlap- and that happened before even getting to the bottom of the driveway.
The other thing is that the support under the foot is different than the either of the SR pedals I'm used to. (duh... different pedals)
