TG, first thanks for your blog post on these a while back. Got myself a pair, surgically removed the tongue, added some elastic laces, and I love them. No problem at all with flying mounts. But now that I've dropped this $$ and effort in shoes... my pedals are bugging me. I've heard you mention pedal testing.. I'm riding with Powertap P1s right now as my power source. Heavy and clunky. Definite fail the "does it look fast" test.
Have you tried these shoes with speedplays or other pedals? I'm thinking about making the switch but I'm having trouble discerning if I'm actually giving up time akin to big straps with my pedals or if I'm going of the aero-deep-end (even farther).
I probably need to write that up in more depth. The skinny is I use Speedplay pedals for the time being because I believe they are aerodynamically faster given all the info presented to me. However, I would switch back to Look in a heartbeat - there are a variety of things I don't like about Speedplay including more technical nature of installation, maintenance, and mostly that engagement is too hard, yet disengagement is too easy. That isn't great for trying to do flying mounts.
