Look-compatible version of the Assioma PRO finally released:
Hurrah…. now I just need to wait until my DUOs stop working…. but unfortunately they still seem rock solid… so I’m stuck with the pods for now.
Haha, same!
N+1 applies to PMs too. 
FWIW: I’ve been using Look cleats with my original type Assiomas since I got them 7 years ago.
I don’t think that’s the point here - the originals have always been compatible with Look cleats so anyone who has them has likely been using Look cleats. They just updated their Pro model with the Look compatible body, so you can take advantage of the Pro model and still run Look.
I have a pair of Favero bePRO pedals that still work fine, and some Assiomas (original version), so I don’t need any new ones. Nice to know that they exist though, just in case!
I might be able to convince myself that the longer battery life, better aesthetics and bodies that are easier to clip into are worth the money 
Also slightly less switching between bikes…. hmmm…
Yah. Funny (ironic?) that for years it was only Look and people wanted spd-sl or spd. I was running Looks before they came out so it was fine by me. The new pros come out and it’s been the other way…till now. I am currently running the xpedo spd hack on my crusty old Assiomas.
Man. It’d cost me a small fortune to update everything to USB-C from all the micro (and even mini) USB devices I have. Three PMs, for a start…
Interesting… well the absence of a pod removes one of my incentives to do the M-force 8 body swap to the original assiomas: the pod’s presence precludes kicking the heel inward to disengage.
But then find that they don’t work or are fragile because the plastic outer sheath & insulation have perished.
