I had a pair of pedals by the same name on my 1989 Falcon (with alum clips, too!) but mine had composite bodies, needle bearings, and separate plates that bolted front and rear. I was into a weight weenie phase back then, which is why I bought them, but they were nice pedals, and the clips actually took the abuse of my (at the time) neophyte struggles to clip in while in motion. I've used most of the clipless systems on the market and a number that fell by the wayside, but a year or two ago I switched back to clips and straps for my road bikes (all four of them are fixed gears) because I can use both cleated and non-cleated shoes. (I do use SPDs for my dirt bike.) I really like straps; my own personal preference would be like the spider and the Scottish king, to keep on trying -- especially if you have nice pedals to hand.
BTW: what sort of shoes have you used with your straps? Lugged shoes are difficult; even the mild ridges on a pair of otherwise very nice for cycling oxfords make it difficult to get in, tho' with practice it's only a minor difficulty. And, lastly, fwiw, you might try the MKS GR-9 pedals, platform: smoothish flat surface, no ridges, and they take straps and clips. If I didn't use cleats from time to time, these or similars would be my favorites.
