So i have had cages on my bike ever since i started riding fixed and it just looks a little bland and over the top to me now, i like the clean look of the thick BMX straps, What are the pros and cons of each?

And also i seen tons of the thick straps going for $50+ is there a cheaper brand i can get at my LBS and that will go on a wellgo pedal? ive only ever seen them on thick gummy bmx pedals..thanks
