According to the product specialist

Pros
These pedals have a superb price-performance ratio.
This pedal provides more support than the RS500. This makes these pedals more suitable for experienced cyclists.
The larger contact surface improves pedalling efficiency.
A steel plate on the composite body increases durability.
The spring tension of these pedals can be adjusted using an Allen key.
Thanks to its low spring tension this pedal is very suitable for novice cyclists who want easy to unclip pedals.
The low spring tension makes it easy to clip in and out of the pedal.
The large surface area facilitates the smooth transfer of power and reduces the risk getting sore feet.
Cons
These pedals are relatively heavy.
The bearings in these pedals are less durable than those in more expensive pedals.
The low spring tension makes this pedal less suited for competitions and performance-oriented cycling, as they are not secure enough during a full sprint. This should not be a problem during tour rides however.
This pedal is relatively heavy.
