Um...what? As someone who's been using clipless for years and has been in several debates about the "1 side clipless, the other side flat" debate - I don't even have any idea what you mean.
Personally, I had the style of pedals you were talking about and they were my first clipless pedals. I always hated having to look down to clip in - and you're always clipping in and such at lights, probably the worst place to have something else to distract you.
On the other hand, other people seem to really like them, so...go figure.
