Higher-end plastic/composite/resin pedals certainly have their place and the performance-to-price ratio is excellent and an excellent min-maxing option for many riders.
On this bike (single-speed) I find I go through the guts too quickly and the plastic pedals aren't gut-replacement friendly so I've switched back to aluminum bodies with the goal of seeing how long I can make the pedals last just replacing bearings and bushings. Hence the silver v. ano-colour debate.
