The problem with midsole cleat placement for me has been that only a 2 hole MTB style cleat will fit in the soles that I have. I cannot imagine having enough real estate to drill three holes for a racing style cleat at least on my shoes. And I do not like the release of the Shimano MTB pedals and I like float.
I'm sure you could have decent cleats 3D printed for less than $300. Having someone design them in a solid modelling program might be expensive, but then I'd guess you could have ten pairs made in steel for $300.
