>>1698275concave platforms make it easier to feel where your foot is on the pedal, I like them but they are less common nowadays
>aluminum good enoughif weight is a concern it should be noted that most of that is in the spindle, the body of the pedal does not weigh a lot unless it is very large and thick
weight weenies tend to shell out big money for parts that are less durable .eg titanium spindles and magnesium body's
the pedals you posted seem to have cup and cone bearings, with such bearings its important to keep an eye on bearing preload, and the condition of the bearing race
thinner pedals sometimes have IGUS bushings instead of ball bearings or Cartridge bearings
maybe bearing type is not a big deal but if the pedal does not use a type of bearing or axle that has spare parts and rebuild kits available the pedal will have a shorter life overall
flip side is that maybe its cheaper and less hassle to buy a new pedal than to rebuild an old one
