Thanks for the info, Hilary Stone has a couple of pairs of the Allez. I like the Webb, but seems another one that gets snapped up on ebay.
I quite fancy having a go at this http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/pedals-rest.html but there's a lot more urgent stuff on my to-do list!
I remember that Allez pedals were popular, at least with people I knew and, as you can see from the catalogue they were significantly lighter than most of the competition. However while the advert claims the 'plates' were specially hardened, my memory is that they wore out pretty quickly and this is probably the reason they haven't come up in the discussion - they've all been binned.
Webb is another brand not so far mentioned - I had a pair which I think cost 15 shillings (75p) from a local shop. They gave good service and could be a good choice now if some turned up. I've also used the Brampton B8 which also seemed as near to indestructable as one could hope for, but remember - nothing will survive a really hard impact on a granite curbstone!
