Depends on where and how you ride the bike. Platforms can be nice on a commuter or and around town errand bike, personally I like clipless for recreational and fitness rides.

I'm just talking about esthetic wise, I never have liked clipped pedals. These feel awesome, but there really downhill pedals. I've already stepped outside the box with an "MTB" crank, was wondering what others thought.

Lots-o pedals with sealed bearings and low profiles. ( you might need to lower your seat. )
Forte and speedplay come to mind. ( that still look like a platform pedal. )

Definitely keep them, they're like the finishing touch to the bike. I've never thought of pedals like that in my life, but these really do just that.
