I don't know that it's fair to compare the price to any composite pedals. I love my OneUp Composites and WahWah2 Composites but they are really both throw-away products. I might get one bearing change out of them before the bodies are really done (bearing seats or pin seats usually).
With it only being $5 per section ($20) to replace the composite sections on the Squidworx pedals and with the bearing/bushing system being so simple to swap I can actually envision riders having these pedals for years. Not only are the pins well supported but the entire pin assembly is replaceable and the sections that house the outer pins (that tend to take the most damage) are replaceable as well.
I think if I was Squidworx I would nuke most my marketing copy and present these as the highest long-term value pedal option on the market under real regular usage. That would be a claim that's difficult to argue against.
