Read a few threads on lighter SPD alternatives, these E-PM215 seemed to be pretty well regarded and found them on amazon for $50....

Amazon.com: Exustar E-PM215 Mountain Bike Pedal, Grey Anodized, 81x55mm: Sports & Outdoors

Not the lightest, but if they work and hold up reasonably well to trail / light all mountain use, I will be pretty happy. These will be replacing some well used vintage M858 pedals.

Any comments or additional feedback?

Watch out for Non Shimano SPDs. I rode Shimano SPDs for a year and tried to upgrade to XPEDO SPDs because they were 1/4 lb. lighter. Engagement was completely different. Couldn't get in them easily to the point where they were almost dangerous.

Nonsense. I've tried the Xpedo M-Force 3, M-Force 4 CR, M-Force 8 CR and M-Force 8 TI pedals. They were all very easy to get in. You probably didn't ajust the spring tension properly.

Sorry, maybe engagement was the wrong word. There is an opening in the front of the pedals where my cleat always got stuck. It would hook on the cleat and you'd think you are in and then you'd press down and violently come off the pedal. It wasn't something I could get past.
