I guess I should qualify that I can clip in and out of eggbeaters as good as I can use platforms so for me it really is a no brainer. SPDs and such would be a much different story. (and for the record I don't pull up on the pedals either. Just like having my foot attached so I don't need to worry about keeping that slight pressure on the backend of the stroke).

I guess my other reason for clipless is that my commuter bike is my brevet and weekend bike ride bike too. I can't imaging riding 200+ miles in a day on platforms. I tried 40 once with platforms and it was brutal.
