I like your style. But you should probably cross-post to A&S (playing the "safety" angle of being clipped in) for best results.
I've seen Shimano DX platforms for close to that price online, the bearings of which will probably outlast the rest of your bike. Is ice/snow buildup on the platforms a possibility in your climate?
