Well I made the switch back in 2011/12 and I'm still using it on almost all my bikes.
I was suffering pretty badly with Achilles tendonitis training for 24hrs. Since making the change I do not have this issue.

I think I will get the extenders to slam my cleats back further (And adjust saddle height to match). As this problem started in June when a fitter moved my cleats 10mm forward and still hasn't gone away I think a midfoot cleat should help to spare my calves.
How long did it take for the achilles tendinopathy to clear?

No idea why they would move cleats forward on anyone, especially when you're complaining of Achilles.

I was riding every week regardless of pain. Probably sorted out inflammation to no NSAIDS level within fortnight. It took a month to adapt to the position anyway so I wasn't riding so hard.
