David, I'd be interested in how the MG-1 and FG-1 compare in regards to the feel of the cleats. The MG-1's cleats are small, and with soft sandals it digs right into the flat platform , perfect. But with the FG-1, the cleats are larger and I'm not sure they're really designed to "dig in", rather more like ride on top of them, as the body itself is not flat with the curve of the body at the end. If they dig in into soft soles, the curve at the end would create a "hump" , which I'm not sure you'd notice or not !
I would not call them an "updated" MG-1, I think they're still being made. It's it's own pedal altogether as the body shape is completely different, as in not truly flat .
