Bikes: 2014 BMC Gran Fondo, 2013 Brompton S6L-X

I'm also commuting in northern NJ to NYC and also using Speedplay(X/2) on my roadbike.
Lately I've been commuting on my folder though since it has fenders for the winter slop.
I can't stand the platform pedals on my Brompton and will be switching to Crankbothers
Eggbeaters 3 clipless pedals soon.

I want to know to those of you who tried or rode for a while in clipless then switched to platforms, what major differences did you notice, if any? I'm in NYC often and I would have to say that more than 50% of cyclists use platforms. I've enjoyed the speedplays but don't think it's necessary for commuting purposes...your thoughts?
