So far so good. Feels a little strange, definitely, but good at the same time. Goona get a longer shakedown ride in after work to finalize my opinion, but I think they're here to stay. I don't notice any speed or "omg so fast" gain like I've heard, but I do like the fact that my feet don't slide around. And then there's the shoes...
..are EXCELLENT. I'm really happy with 'em, they're the Bontrager Mountain RL's, I tried the "Race" and yeah they didn't work out for me. Fit good, dang good, but there was a issue with the sole that didn't work with my foot. But these, boy oh boy, they're good. I wouldn't ride them with platforms, but they'll work. Nice and stiff, fit roomy even on my ginormous feet, and run about a size or two too small.
And yes, they have carbon soles. Only the "Bronze" series, wonder what gold is? Okay whatever, mock away at my carbon footsies... :P

I have those exact same pedals. I like them a lot. I have Specialized MTB shoes though.
Be sure to record your first "forgot-to-unclip-at-a-stop" incident at a quiet little side-street intersection.
Bah. You don't forget to upshift before coming to a stop - he won't forget to unclip either.
Once you have the clip-out motion ingrained, you won't forget it because you won't think about it.
