I like 'em myself, especially for commutes and long rides that involve a lot of clip/unclip cycles. I discovered the hard way on PBP this year that the harder twisting for the regular cleats makes my knee unhappy. (Pedal tension is backed off all the way, or nearly so.)
If you do try out the multi-release cleats at some point and don't like 'em, I'll take 'em off your hands.
