According to the product specialist

Pros
The extra light spring in the pedal makes engaging or disengaging easier. Ideal for beginners.
The spring tension can be adjusted with a small allen key, meaning you can increase the spring tension if you so require.
The spring tension can be tuned with great precision, allowing you to finely adjust how easy it is to (dis)engage the pedal.
The large surface area under the cleat improves stability.
A lot lighter than its predecessor, the Look Keo Classic 2.
The pedals are perfectly suited to beginner cyclists.
The large surface area ensures extra efficient power transmission.
The Time pedals are very light.
Cons
The bearings are of a lesser quality than the high-end pedals, but then the price is proportionally lower as well.
Relatively heavy.
This pedal is less tight when engaged, which makes it less suitable for fanatical cyclists and races.
The cleats have 0 degrees of play.
