There's also a smaller problem in that your seat height isn't quite right any more after putting them on, but that's a problem with most other solutions as well.
I just decided not to switch pedals, but if one wanted to the best solution seemed to me to be the Ezy quick release system -

You can just switch the pedal out by hand without tools in about 30 seconds.
The new Shimano "light' or whatever mentioned above somewhere looks interesting as well.
