Hi Sean, I am a big fan of the grip kings! I used MKS touring pedals with cages for more than a year. While I liked being more connected to the pedals at times, they weren't that comfortable, and the lack of shoe options finally got to me. The Grip Kings were like upgrading from a twin sized bed (with straps) to being sprawled out on a king!
Really, I noticed that much of a difference. More of my foot contacts the pedal, and since the platform is larger towards the front and rear of the bike, I can move my foot forward and backwards to get different foot positions. Options is the name of the game, right? Go for them, I think you'll like them. Bruce is right, if you aren't a fan, you shouldn't have a problem re-selling them. I might even buy them!
