What Dammit said, plus you have to get used to the clip-out. With SPDs, you can just think about twisting your heel, and they disengage (unless it's a misclip). Times need (what feels like) a more extreme/definite twist out, but you get used to it quickly (a week of commuting). It's to do with the spring mechanism. The slower you twist, the more resistance to unclipping you feel.
Can't remember getting any joint issues. The cleats are about as adjustable as SPDs. The float feels a bit squishier than SPDs, but in a nice way. I usually set them up for the less severe release angle (it's based on which cleat goes on which shoe).
Much nicer click, sonically speaking. If I click in aggressively whilst riding the Burls, it makes the frame sing :)
