The whole idea of the Click'R series is to be the MOST FORGIVING clip-in system. Some people find it TOO forgiving (meaning you release when you don't want to).
Here's the mid-line Click'R pedal in case you think it's "right for you":
PD-T420 - PEDALS - CYCLING FOOTWEAR AND PEDALS - LIFESTYLE GEAR - SHIMANO
Personally, I find the M530's easy to get in and out of (of course, I have the tension set at the LOWEST POSSIBLE SETTING, which I would suggest all new user try... remember to adjust ALL FOUR tension bolts... both sides of both pedals).
I've finally bought my clipless pedals - the PD-T420. I had the LBS install them since I had my bike with me and the installation was free. I just practiced clipping in/out on the floor for a few minutes and got out to come home. You are right - the SH-56 is very, very easy to clip in and out. Although it allows you to clip out in different ways, I find toeing out to be the easiest. I've ridden about 10 miles with these pedals - I haven't fallen yet.
Thanks again for your help. Now I wish I had gone clipless much earlier. (I know, I know...)
