Actually, I've ridden the touring bike with street shoes, and it was not uncomfortable. That M424 sounds like the way to go. Pedals of any kind stretch the budget right now, but separate shoes and cleats for each bike are totally out of the question.

Thanks everyone, for the specific answers.
I use the A 520 on the new road bike. All my other bikes use the M520 or similar Shimano clipless pedals and like you- I did not want to have different shoes for different bikes. The A 520's are comfortable and I did not realise how the Size of the platform of the pedal can make a difference to comfort- till I got these.
