Thanks for everyones input on this. At the end of the day, I will probably try Grip Kings with the Power Grips. My LBS has both, so I can check them out locally, get their opinion, and go from there.
Practicing emergency bailouts (and working on bike handling skills in general), trying my existing clipless shoes with MKS Touring pedals, trying a stiffer shoe with the MKS pedals are all excellent ideas, and I will give those options a shot to see what happens. On paper, though, the GK with PG setup seems to offer the ability to pull up on the pedal stroke, allows any manner of shoe to be worn while providing good support, reduces nerve/circulation/numbness issues, and allows for quick and easy dismounting. Basically the combination seems to provide the (perceived) advantages of clipless pedals, while eliminating the (also perceived) disadvantages. Again, thanks for the suggestions and info.
