Well, I made my choice, and overall I'm happy. My critique wasn't intended to discredit SPD, but just to throw a little perspective out there for others who may be on the fence like I was.
Besides, if I came home with another set of pedals and cleats after just a week, my wife would probably invent a new and painful way for me to clip into them.
