Really? I've not tried SPDs TBH (only EBs, ATACs and Keos) and found with ebs you basically just throw your foot roughly in the direction of the pedals and you're in, which was great when I was learning. Certainly much easier than ATACs but now I'm used to them it doesn't really make a difference.
If they're any good, perhaps they'll encourage Crank Bros to up their build quality.
Another problem with eggbeaters is that the critical bit of the cleat seems to be what wears out quickest - definitely an advantage of ATACs. Be interesting to see how the funny cleats on these work over time. Also interested in how compatable they are with differing shoes.
