I also went with R540 pedals for about $35 and Shimano R087 shoes for about $50 1 1/2 years ago when I went clipless. I just replaced my cleats last week. I've upgraded everything else since then but I have had no real reason to upgrade my shoes/pedals. Yes there are obviously lighter/stiffer options but I'm happy enough to ride these until they fall apart
