I didn't know how bad it was until I was on a trip, rented a bike, and borrowed a pair of Look pedals from a friend. Came home, took one ride on the old pedals, bought the Look pedals. Been much happier ever since.
I use the Forte Carbon Pedals and they're absolutely perfect. Pedal goes to a vertical position rather quickly, clipping in doesn't take much effort. When I pedal I never clip out accidentally, but when I do clip out, I barely feel the resistance, and this is out-of-the box tension. My pedals, as well as all the rest in the store that I've examined feel the exact same way. I can't relate to your experience and I'd recommend these to anyone. The reviews on the site are all 5 stars and they're all detailed.
The Forte Team pedals, however, I've seen plenty of people return, and I've seen people clipping in and out of them, much much tougher than it has to be. Those I wouldn't recommend.
