Does anyone have any first hand experience with Shimano's new SPD-SL pedals (either the Ultegra or the Durace versions) ?

I've heard the 'hype' how it's Lance's new pedal and some brief internet blurbs about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any first hand reviews on them on roadbikereview.com ... so if anyone can comment on these, I would appreciate it.

I'm thinking of switching my Speedplay X3s for a pair of Ultegra SPD-SL pedals.

I have put a couple of customers on the Dura Ace model and so far so good. They are very similar to look pedals with a little smoother float feel to them. The cleats are easy to walk on if you do much of that and the pedals are reasonably light. Thumbs up here.
