Univega - have you tried adjusting the the pedals, or are you dead set on spending silly money?

I have been thinking about the post left by Ben Cousins

Ben, to answer your first question:
“Univega - have you tried adjusting the pedals”: Yes, and lubricated them too.

Second question: “or are you dead set on spending silly money?”

Interesting phrase “spending Silly Money”.

I guess Ben hit it on the head. The whole issue I am trying to get to is that I have Wellgo pedals. They are the set that came with the bike and probably the feature I felt could use an upgrade.

Are they horrible, no. But my foot gets jammed occasionally trying to exit and getting in is a real pain in the butt. My friend has a set of CAmpys and enters a lot smoother than me.
So after some research I am wondering if I purchased a set of Campy or Shimano pedals would it be “Silly money” or are they “that much better” to justify the cost.

I guess I was hoping someone here could say:
I had a bike with Wellgo pedals, switched to Campy and now have Shimano. They are (or are NOT) worth the money for this reason……

So I am NOT set on “spending silly money”. Will entry be easier? Will exits be smoother. Will buying a set be worth my hard earned money?
