I am just the opposite, when I tried the SH51 , I had to decrease spring tension to get them to release.
No the SH56 are designed to release in any direction. The sh51 will only release from a side out motion.
I've ridden and sold Shimano clipless pedals since the first 747s back in the early 90s. If you are an aggressive rider at all I would never recommend the sh56s.
