Look at the Keo Classics and I think you will find what your looking for. They are under $100.00 and only weigh a few grams more than the Sprints. I have used them and have had no problems in about 4,000 miles of use

I have broken three KEO cleats since November, but still am very happy with them.

I have heard of the KEO cleats being less durable (they advocate frequent checking for wear), but they appear to be a very well designed new iteration of a proven sucess in pedal technology.

Yes, there is definantly a difference. I upgraded from A3.1's to Keo Carbon Cr-Mo's(yes, a little more extreme change than what you are talking about), and definantly feel a difference when I engage my cleat, and when I sprint(old cleats felt like they were a little loose mabye though)

I've never used them (the keo line) but I think you'll also notice that they look nicer than the cheaper ones.MW
