Do you find that your Speedplay cleats require more maintenance? I've heard that you need to lube them on a fairly regular basis (weekly). Compared to the SPD-SL's, would you say the platform on the Speedplay is larger or roughly the same? Ideally, I would like the largest, widest platform I can find because I do have some nagging foot issues.
I had the same experience with the push-down "snap" in the SPD-SLs, too.

I haven't had any maintenance problems with mine - I suppose they might benefit from a good lube, but I can get in and out of them with no problems and I can't remember the last time I did treat them.

I think the platform on the Speedplays is a little bigger, all things considered. It's basically a nice rectangle on the bottom of my foot with the circle-shaped cleat in the middle. It feels more "even" pressure-wise, distributed across the bottom of my foot. I can probably snap a couple of pictures of my cleated shoes if it would help - I still have the SPD-SL cleats on my Sidi shoes which I don't wear because they are too narrow for long distance rides.
