TIA
The ATAC engagement mechanism itself is not going to make any difference in the support the pedal gives. Time makes a bunch of different ATAC models, some (the XC line) have no platform around the engagement mech. The MX line has a small one. The Speciale lines have bigger ones.
The thing to keep in mind is that even if there is a platform, if your shoe cleat is not recessed the right amount, your shoe will not be resting on the platform when clipped in, and it does little good while clipped in.
