Honestly if this is your first set of clipless pedals I wouldn't jump into that much debt to try something out you're not sure if you're even gonna want to continue using.
I would. You can always sell them to recoup your investment.

Speedplay Frogs are an entirely different pedal system than Zero.
Don't get "Light Action". Get the Zero or the Track Specials. You will see more Speedplay pedals at the track than any other.
I just switched from Ultegra SPD-SLs to Speedplay Zero this week.
To put this into perspective, Steve Hill (National and World Champion, our most decorated local racer) puts down 1200 watts of power on Speedplay Track Zeros. Taylor Phinney just won the Men's Individual Pursuit World Championship on Speedplay Zeros.
There are others, but Speedplay Zeros are generally preffered.
