I have to disagree with this. I could pull out of my looks with the tension all the way up. They may have gotten better since I got mine but I still wouldn't trust the arc looks even with the black cleats. I have never used the keos tough so I don't have an opinion on them. Any of the newer system seem fine though.
The problem with the original idea is it doesn't make sense and it's all about creating a solution to a problem that didn't exist in the first place. You get a small platform, poor clearance, and a super low end pedal(that is more likely to release in the first place.) I'm not ever sure whether the strap would even do any good. Since it's coming out wider then the clipless part of the pedal it seem like if you unclipped your foot could slide off the side as opposed to popping back in.
