The problem with nylon, or using the King / Nitto without straps as a fancy half clip, is the rider can flatten rather than get the foot into them when accelerating from a stand still such as from a traffic signal.
The BG half clips especially paired with White platforms but also on such diverse pedals as vintage Campy Record Stradas and MKS RX-1 is so natural. Perhaps half clips not optimal for pure speed or beach cruising. I find them very good for touring. They hold the foot in place well enough on long stretches but allow me to quickly get my foot down when stopping with a loaded bike. Sure, could do the same clipless. But clipless means bringing a second pair of shoes for off bike portion of my tours, something I really do not like doing. Walking shoes take up too much space in the panniers for me.
