They really should have been re-designed with a replaceable cage but that would have mitigated the weight savings and replacement sales. Still, my aluminum cage MKS Unique clones don't wear nearly as fast.
I know this thread is about front derailleurs but I have to say the Campy SL pedals are my favorite pedals. I too like some of the MKS pedals but have changed my regular rotation of bikes over to SL or SR. The look and function , to me , are classic!
