A ran a couple pair of T2s awhile back. Coming from SPDs, I REALLY liked the aesthetics and functionality. Personally, with the X1 cleats, I found release tension to be pretty equivalent to Shimano.
Maintenance-wise, it’s a different story from SPDs. I’m in a dry climate and basically never touch the Shimano pedals. The HTs do require more maintenance and the bushings wear out quickly. Their USA-side service appeared to be a random dude in the Midwest who has since gone dark.
If it weren’t for maintenance, these would be the only pedals I’d run.
