My .02 is to keep looking at Look or any of the other MAJOR brand pedals that are marketed in the US assuming that you are indeed in the USA. My reason for saying that is primarily due to cleat availability. Any decent bike shop will stock Look, Shimano and sometimes Time cleats but not Exustar.

I've been looking for some Exustar pedals for a good price. I'd buy them, for sure.

Im with you, Exustar uses bushing / sealed bearings in their pedals. Not a fan of bushings, coz they tend to wear out and then you get a wobbly pedal. But its less than half the price of a Keo 2 Max, so you can replace pedals when cleats wear out.
