"Pedal Mixing"

I bought a 'pair' of Garmin Vector S pedals (one sided power measurement) that I installed on the spinner bike that sees a good bit of use all year and even more in bad winters like this one. The purpose was feedback (on progress or the lack of it). I really like having that information (during and after the workout) so am considering moving the 'power pedal' to my Bianchi (and back) - not super hard but not trivial.

I have Shimano PD-6800 pedals on my road bike and I am considering just not changing out the 'non power side' pedal on the Bianchi. Cleats are not compatible (but swappable) between Shimano and Look (ala' Vector) and I have two pairs of cycling shoes so one would be the 'indoor shoes' (Look both sides) and one pair of outdoor shoes (Look left/Shimano right). That way I would not have to swap two pedals.

Just how dorky is this? From an appearance perspective the Garmin's and Shimano's are quite similar. And I would save a handful of grams to satisfy my inner weight weenie.

Thoughts - ever heard of anyone doing that?

Thanks.
