I bit the bullet and bought the Favero Assioma Pro MX-2 pedals. I was looking at the Garmin ones but these seemed much better value. Put them on my XC duallie but may try them on road bike for comparison with the 4iiii cranks. Did a quick test ride this morning, and everything looked correct. Not sure what to do with all the cycling dynamics values. Left right power is 50:50 (on road bike typicaly see 51:49) and PCO is +1:+3
They do appear to be very well constructed and ability to replace parts for reasonable cost is nice.
Thanks for the feedback. I've been thinking of the single sided version because I have Garmin road pedals and my balance is inevitably 50:50 anyway.

You can upgrade to dual at a later date if you find you need/want it.

Went for longer ride today and all good apart from clipping in and out. I had some difficulty yesterday but today was worse. Today was wearing the shoes I use for the mtb bike that had SH-56 multi-release (and one side not tightened enough). The other shoes have SH-51 which is what they recommend. So have changed cleats to the ones supplied with pedals and positioned the cleats more to the center, they were slightly to the inside. Also loosened the locking tension. Seems better but just tested in garage.

Keep going with the feedback over time :). If I ever need another PM these look good.

My pedal arc is similar

My offset is terrible in comparison

Whoa, those offsets are big and big difference between R and L but I don't know if it makes any real difference to performance. Maybe bike fit??? Podiatrist???

I dont think it makes any difference. I am competitive with those my age. Fit has been very similar for 15 years.
