A revelation! Not so much being attached to the pedals, you can pretty much the same thing with clips n straps, but it's more the fact that the shoe has a much stiffer sole. Acceleration feels a lot nicer.
It also depends on how you ride. If you don't really ride for speed, then straps are better simply b/c you can wear any shoes. They're better for 'utility' cycling.
