Yeah, it's huge. It's because the clamping mechanism is attached to the shoe and not the pedal.
The system is really cool. It has the most shallow pedal to avoid pedal strike.
The float is a "free" float. Most (if not all) other floats have tension associated with them. Think spring loaded float. Speedplay float is free, meaning that the shoe moves laterally with no resistance till you reach the end of the float.
Next is the 0-15 degrees float. Not Zero OR 6 degrees float (depends on the cleat you choose). You can set the speedplays to 0, 1, 2...15 degrees. Very cool.
Ever have your heel hit the chainstay or the crank arm? You can adjust how far it lets your heel twists in or out! Amazing.
