Which pedal?
I need to replace my Look PP206 pedals (giving them to the wife). Nows my chance to upgrade and I have decided on Look Keo Carbon CoMo, Speedplay Zero CoMo, or Shimano Dura-Ace pedals. Would love to see your comments on these and how the poll comes out.
Concerns:Speedplay Zero’s don’t have float with friction or self-centering capability like the Look’s. Wonder how that feels?

I switched to Look's after riding Speedplays for a while. I personally prefer the Looks. They feel much more solid to me.

Pedals are almost more about personal preference than even saddles and frame sizing. I always loved Looks, but switched to Speedplays. Would I ever go back? Sure. Does it really matter? No.
The float is definitely different. After all it is the feature that tends to set these pedals (Look - same as DA - under license, and Speedplays) apart. If you aren't desiring more float then stick with Look. If you want/need more float for comfort then pick Speedplay.

The Speedplays have a huge cleat that is awkward to walk on. Since no shoe has the 4 holes Speedplay cleats require, you must use a 48 gram, stack height increasing adaptor plate. Probikekit has killer prices on Look Keos (and not on Speedplay), and so they are basically the same price.
With Speedplay you need use all these extraneous pieces, just to make up for shoes not coming in 4 holes.
The Look Keo cromoly is lighter:
