I have power grips on the Surly ECR and have been enjoying them. I can't wear my keen's though, to wide and getting them in and out makes my knee hurt - but they also aren't the commuter so hopefully those are easier. On my touring/commuting bike I have been riding the Shimano A530 for at least six years and they so fit the ticket for me, clip in on one side, flat on the other. I scored a pair of pearl izumi's mtb shoes on the REI website last fall that have ended up being perfect for me. the cleat is recessed enough that I even ride them in the power grip.
