Looks are better but they will squeak, creak and groan after long. The Look Keo cleat stinks.
Get Shimano 105 or Ultegra pedals and rest easy. The 105's can be bought for around $100 usually.
I had the first Shimano Look type and never had issues with them, except weight, which is why I moved toward Speedplay. Didn't want to put boat anchors on a Serotta Legend Ti. I realize the new Shimanos are much lighter - will keep them in mind. Wondering what you don't like about the Keo cleats - I had no issues with the original Look cleats *except walking in them, of course) and they were pretty low maintenance.
