I can't help thinking you're need to be pretty light on your feet to stand on a 3.5mm thick plate of anything, although they carefully shoot every photograph so that you have to sit and scratch your head a bit before you notice that they must be about 16mm thick where the platform blends to the axle, which means the platform is effectively canted outwards if you place your foot tight to the pedal boss, which, by the way, increases your Q-factor by about 20mm compared with normal pedals.[/QUOTE]
+1 MDCT. Plus if the benefit of these super skinny pedals is a couple of mms of lean either way, then they're going to be paid for by race teams or people who have money to burn. Ride budget Shimano spds and you'll get an extra 2 cms of lean. If you're riding fast enough for the flat pedals to be an issue for you, you can probably either afford them or you don't have to worry about it.
