I agree with a number of the points you and Andrew raise. The wider stance available will be interesting, even if only a few mill wider than my current go to pedals. But I personally find the footwear to influence it. When riding in shoes that are narrower overall, I find my foot in between key pins but with my FiveTen Impact pros, they feel great. That’s what Chris runs too so it should make for a good comparison to begin with.
I also struggled with clips and while I got used to them to the point that I couldn’t remember the issues, I was instantly reminded when putting flats back on after 2 years clipped in. That was 3 years ago, now. If I raced, I could see trying them again, but I don’t and find flats more enjoyable. Each to their own.
