I haven't tried them myself. But, the reason I use toeclips, or clipless is to occasionally pull up. Not always, but at least sometimes.

And, I suppose, to hold the feet securely where I want them.

Hmm... thinking about when I went from toeclips to clipless, I was increasing my miles, and having my feet with pressure points and tipping off the edge of the pedals. The clipless hold them flat, and good shoes give the feeling of a larger contact area.

Anyway, the multirelease don't sound like they would do what I want them to do.

The pedals all have adjustable tension. So, for newbies, perhaps set the tension light, then as one gets more used to the pedals, slowly crank up the tension to prevent pull-outs if they are a problem.
