Thanks for the info guys.
For some reason they actually seem to "feel" faster even though measurements say they aren't. It kinda funny. People ride for fun though, so if it feels faster and it provides other benefits (foot retention, the feel of being connected to the bike) why not? :-)

2 sided clipless lets you clip in and out without looking down (with some practice). When I was riding clipless I found this especially useful since you're always clipping in at intersections right when you want to have your head up and looking the most.
Shimano makes plenty of good 2 sided pedals. But if you wanted to be able to switch back and forth, but wanted to do clipless, the most interesting thing I've seen is Ezy Superior pedals. You can switch them by hand in 15 seconds:
They make both flats and spd-compatible pedals. I only ride flats right now, but thought it looked interesting - passing it along.
