I'm not saying don't go clipless; I'm saying consider all the options before you plop down a wad of cash. Happy riding!
I use both clipless (Look) and toeclips/straps/slotted cleats. Most of my riding is with toeclips/straps/slotted cleats. It takes a little while to get accustomed to it, but functionally there is little difference between clipless and toeclips/straps/slotted cleats.
