I have a pair of those. Check your shoes as not compatible with all of them. The 661 SPD sandals have the SPD cleats recessed enough so the sandal sole is very tight against the cage when clipped in. This eliminates ALL float and makes unclipping difficult.
The A530 platform is longer and narrower than most platform pedals but works well for me. I prefer it to the M324 but have 3 bikes with A530s installed and 2 with the M324s.
