Actually, no: you can adjust the tension, NOT the float. There is a some float on the SPD mountain pedal, and you can't change it. The tension is translated in how hard it is to unclip.

Is there really any difference on the models and cost? Such as an SPD for $50.00 vs $70.00. Is the more expensive one lighter like everything else in cycling? Is it better to have a lighter pedal which leads to a lighter bike, I guess.
If you have a chance to see them in person, you can try spinning them on their axle (better pedal spins more easily), that would make a difference. Some pedals are also known to shed mud more easily than others, you can read about that on the MTBRreview web site... Weight I guess would also be part of the price difference.

Good luck!
