SWorks for me too.
Light, stiff and suit my wide-ish feet perfectly.

I noticed that the 2012 S-Works are on sale now. I love mine so much that I am not interested in even trying anything else, so I picked up a back-up pair.

They are on sale in very limited sizing at the Specialized Web Store. They will ship.

Art's Cyclery has them on sale, but it is local pick-up only. (I called to verify)

So I went to my LBS Specialized retailer and they were on sale there too. Must be a factory authorized clearance sale of the 2012 model.

Am surprised no one mentioned the Prolight as yet, here's one from my pair size 44.5 with Look cleats on. Light shoes are a joy to use! These are great but I have to upsize it by a half size to fit my wider feet, compared to my previous pair of Sidis.

got my prolight coming in today. but just realized that this doesn't have the mount for SPD. anyone know where i can get something like this? http://goo.gl/rVxIT

i know crankbro has one available, but the plastic cover around it cracks so easily. so need something like this.

shimano makes one as well, but it's way too bulky and fugly. want something nice and clean but made with metal. anyone with a machine shop want to make me a pair?

Rocket7's should come close to topping the list (or bottoming out ...) .. 150grams +/- but were not exactly in the ususal gift giving price realm :lol:
Just ride ..

Does lightweight matters that much with shoes? Are you faster with lighter shoes? So many riding Sidis which are one of the heaviest..what's your experience?

It's a contact point. Comfort first.

Sidis are extremely comfortable, if you have sidi shaped feet.

Comfort first. I would say stiffness second for power transfer.
But it is something you lift up and down 90 times a minute so weight is important.
