i just recently started riding clipless as well on the roadie. i was almost convinced i would want the regular SPD pedals purely for the convenience of double sided entry, but the LBS employee told me that i should try the SPD-SL pedals because they have a tendency to "turn" back around to the entry side after you unclip. so i gave it a shot and i never looked back.

on the ride home right after installing the pedals at the LBS i pretty much did the "awkward-tip-over-clipped-in" fall at every stop sign for 10 blocks. but hey, what counts is that i looked damn good doing it.
