After looking around & seeing the pricing on "entry-level" road shoes, the build quality and apparent comfort of sidis seems like it's probably worth the extra dough. The pair I tried on today was quite comfortable, even though a bit narrow through my forefoot/arch.. I guess what it'll really come down to is if I can find the right size for my weird feet.
Thanks to all for the advice.

If you DO have 3 bills to drop on some shoes, get the Sidi 5.5 HT Carbon. They feel so nice.

Hey Duppy/Ronin,
If you guys want to ride around, go to MEC/bike stores as well I'd be down. I have to get a couple of things from MEC for this week and I need to go to Canadian Tire as well.
Good times yesterday! Colin and Charlie I owe both of you guys a beer for being a money grubbing bastard
