Speedplay vs. other pedals

What pedals do you use???

When i got my bike at 16 i purchased a nice set of Look pedals basically because most pro's used them (or Time pedals)...And I've had the same type ever since. The guys I've been riding with for the past year or so all use Speedplay (the circular pedals). I've tried them a few times and they felt extremely awkward to say the least. I guess you do get used to them, but it basically felt like my feet were pedalling on ice! lol. My friends say its easier on the knees, but it just seems like they give you a little "too" much play.

I read a recent article on cyclingnews.com about Jonathan Vaughters on a mission to try to win over some other euro pros into switching to speedplay...I've never see any other euro pro's riding with them...all i see is the Look, Time, Campy, or Shimano pedals...

Just wanting your guys opinions on these pedals...why you like them, why you don't...
