It doesn't sound like you will be in either of these categories.
I wonder if all pedals are created equal. Perhaps some of the new power pedals are also thicker and wider, and might also benefit from a higher bottom bracket.
Another can be large platform pedals. My old 90's MTB with 175 cranks and large pinned platform pedals scraped one time when I accidentally had the inside pedal in the 6-o'clock position through a corner. That was when I was still a relative n00b.
