Hmmm, 6000 pedals have several adjustments....lets see, about 5 just looking
at them. Probably more internal. And I've owned every ECCI there is. Are
your's built different?

If you're worried about them being worth the extra $80, you need to buy the
TSW pedals. I would pay $200 more for them if I had to.

What is that statement supposed to mean? I just do not want to pay an extra
$80 for something that is not worth it. My wife already thinks I am spending
too much. But as you know they do not understand.

What I mean is that I would gladly spend the $80 more to own the ECCI pedals
over the TSW pedals. I have owned and used both. Of course I can't help you
with your wife. (-:
