Bike Setup: Typical custom homebrew fixie with a crazy mix of components.
Summary: Everyone else on here is right. Easy in and out, smooth, pretty light, and strong for being plastic. I was a little skeptical about that and thought they might flex or something but they are stiff.
Since I'm riding fixed, I was also worried that I'd come unclipped while resisting to stop or pulling up on them to skip stop, skid or bunny hop but these pedals actually made it easier to do all those things and it didn't feel like my foot was going to pop out when pulling straight up on them.
Advice: If you have never ridden clipless before, practice getting in and out of them BEFORE you go ride. I lost my balance and tipped over 3 times while track standing because I wasn't used to it and couldn't get out fast enough.
I was using them with Sidi Raiden shoes.
Similar Products Used: First clipless.
Had been riding platforms because I hate trying to get my foot into toe clips. Just can't handle that for some reason.

Bike Setup: 2008 cannondale six13 3 (ultegra group, dura-ace rear) 48 cm
Summary: i've only just put these on my bike, so the review is 'so far.' will update with longer rides.
just wanted to give the thumbs-up, though, compared to more expensive and heavier models (doh) and less expensive and VERY poorly reviewed models. these are easy to clip in and out for a newbie and feel light, solid and powerful.
Strengths: easy to get in and out. durable construction. light. not too expensive.
did i mention they're easy to clip in and clip out? gives me confidence.
Weaknesses: none so far

Bike Setup: Specialized Allez, Ultegra Components, Shimano Wheels, Koobi seat
Summary: I first tried the perrformance brand pedals and couildn't get my feet out of them. I took them back and picked up a pair of Keo Classics. I feel in love with them as soon as I used them. I had never used clipless pedals and didn't know if I'd like them or not. These are a great choice for someone who wants to try them out and for someone who is looking for a smooth entry and exit pedal. I haven't had one un-clip on me and they feel very secure.
Strengths: Price, weight, looks are important too.
Weaknesses: None so far.
Similar Products Used: Tried the forte brand (mistake)

Bike Setup: 2004 Trek Project 1 5900 Superlight
Full Dura-Ace Triple
Rolf Prima Elans
Fizik Aliante
Easton EC90 bars
Michelin Pro 2 Race
Summary: These have to be one of the best values that I have found in cycling. I bought them for an older bike because they are cheap. I transfered them to my Project 1 5900 over the Speedplay X/1's that came on the bike because I like the Keos so well. I just bought another pair for a bike to put on the trainer. I considered the Sprints, but double the price for 10g made no sense.
Granted, I only have 2,400 miles on them, but I have not seen any signs of mechanical wear.
Strengths: I can't imagine a better pedal for less $.
Pedal+cleat weight is similar to $300 Speedplay x/1's
Weaknesses: They do not stay looking prestine at all. After a month of riding you will notice aestetic wear.

Bike Setup: 2006 Trek Pilot 2.1 WSD w/ some new parts
Summary: These pedals replace the crank bros eggbeaters that I use to run on my road bike. I bought new shoes and decided that I needed actual road pedals as well. They are actually lighter than the eggbeater C's. Clipping in is sometimes frustrating, still getting use to only having one surface to clip into. Please note that my price paid is in Canadian Dollars.
Strengths: Inexpensive, Light in comparison to other pedals at this price range. Some what easy to clip in and out.
Weaknesses: Also could be considered heavy, but you get what you pay for right?
