I read somewhere that the MX is a little easier to get into because the extra platform keeps the pedal from rolling as you try to engage. Anything to that?

I notice that some XC models have a spring tension adjustment, but none of the MX. Does that matter?

Thanks in advance.
If there are differences in the ease of clip-in, they are slight. They do fell slightly more “planted” in the MX versions. If I did more mountain biking, I would use the MXs more, but most of my riding is gravel, commuting, and road, so more of my bikes have XCs.
