I will compare the Ti versions because otherwise it gets a little confusing and people get hissy fits over the facts(
facts don't lie kids)
Speedplay Zero Ti
Weight(pair):
164g
Engagement:
Double Sided
Zero Float Lockout:
YES
Stack Height on 4 hole mount:
11.5 mm
Stack Height on 3 hole mount:
8.5 mm
Float range:
15 degrees
LOOK Keo TI
Weight(pair):
193g
Engagement:
Single Sided
Zero Float Lockout:
Yes but have to get different cleats
Stack Height on 4 hole mount:
NOPE, only 3 hole mounting!
Stack Height on 3 hole mount:
17.1mm
Float range:
10 degrees
SPD-SL
Weight(pair):
279g
Engagement:
Single Sided
Zero Float Lockout:
Yes but have to get different cleats
Stack Height on 4 hole mount:
YES
Stack Height on 3 hole mount:
13.7mm
Float range:
6 degrees
So what have we learned from raw data above? Oh that's right! LOOK has epic stack height. SPD-SL has even higher stack height and extreme weight.
Have fun cornering in criteriums with terrible pedal clearance on LOOK + SPD-SL! Don't descend down switchbacks too fast either!

Good lord.
