Just jumped in a purchased some road shoes. I have had the opportunity to try speed plays a while ago and while I quite liked the system I had a few issues with durability of the bottom plate and that was only a couple of weeks of riding in them !!!!!
I own a pair of the shimano style cleats so will definitely be giving them a good work out first. The speedplays system is going to cost 140 (pedals) + 40 (fore aft extender plate) + (20) (keep on kovers) = $200
