i use the word "platform" as a noun unassociated with pedal types, to indicate a surface which is sort of flat.

my question has to do with the advantages or disadvantages of crank bros Candy pedals, compared to the simpler Eggbeater variety.

Candy pedals have little platforms. Eggbeaters do not. Is there an advantage to these little platforms? Or should I just go with the plain and pleasingly minimalist Eggbeaters?

k. thanks.
