No love at all for the PowerGrips then?

That's too bad, because, IMO PowerGrips offer the positives of foot retention in a very cost effective system. I hope one day to graduate to full clipless on at least one of my bikes but in the meantime I run Powergrips on four (out of five) of them and commute (and club ride) with Shimano MT41 mountain shoes (without cleats) but wear whatever shoe I feel like for other shorter trips. YMMV.
