Unfortunately that voided the warranty as I was told by a Speedplay person.
You only mentioned bi-directional release in the post I quoted. As Wilfred Laurier has pointed out, Shimano has always allowed for inward release and, since Shimano is the platform that most pedals copy, that means that most pedals allow for inward release.

Tension adjustment is one of those things that seldom gets moved once the pedals are installed. I don't usually mess with the tension after the pedals are on the bike.

One of the things you could do with the old Onza pedals (and you can probably do it with Shimano) is to swap your cleats from one foot to the other when the cleat starts to get sticky. It still didn't matter whether or not you rotate inward or outward but you could get more wear out of the cleat.
