Agreed. I bought a Charge Plug a few weeks ago. Rode it SS for a week, then flipped it round and rode it fixed with platform pedals for a week. Hills (going down) became a terrifying experience. I live in Crystal Palace and my first long ride fixed started off descending down Anerley Hill. It almost put me off fixed, then I stuck some spd pedals on and I am loving it! Going down hills is now fun filled spinfest.
Do it. Do it now!
