I wanted to see if anyone knew the differences between the Shimano Dura-Ace SPD-SL pedals. Shimano's description of both pedals are very similiar. I do understand that the finish is different so as to match the new 10-speed DA finish and I also see that the 7800 are listed as being 4 grams heavier. So is there any real difference? I assume the cleats are the same, but Shimano does list any cleat information for the PD-7800 on their website.

Without having seen the 7800's, I think not. I think you hit the nail on the head regarding the finish being the only real difference (weights are usually off by a gram or two anyway). I am VERY happy with my 7750's, they
ease of use). I think the 7750 finish will likely last longer than the shiny 7800 finish. I know there has been lots of complaints regarding the Ultegra SPD-SL finish, if that is important to you.

pedals only compatible with 10s? come-on, he's joking!! i think . . .
i read in some magazine article that the only difference is the finish. don't know about the 4g weight diff, but the finish can impact the weight (e.g. chromed car wheels are significantly heavier than the same exact style with a painted finish)

That's what I thought when I first read it. But then I started to wonder if he meant that the 7800 series wasn't compatible with the 7750 pedal -- meaning that the possibly they had revised the cleat so that one wouldn't work with the other.
