and the Shimano M647.

Both are platform style pedals that clip in on either side. I got the Shimano recommendation from reading this board, but two important mt biking dudes in my life insist on the crank brothers. My major priority is something I can get out of easily because I'm a BIG klutz. Any yays or nays in favor of either? I know the Shimano will get some support but I'm curious if anyone has used the mallet as well....
I adore the M647 -- but I'm guessing it's my post you saw in the first place. But I have never tried anything but SPD, so I can't compare them to the mallets =/ I did find the M647 a lot easier to get in and out of than my previous SPD pedals -- I don't know if that's because they are higher end, because the platform somehow channels my foot into the right place, or what.
