Back on topic, consider me Favero-curious. If I ever decided to get a PM that would be my choice (I realize that is of zero use to the OP, sorry).
If you've got an ultratorque crank (with bearings on the spindle) then perhaps I can see a preference for switching pedals instead of crank, but for Shimano Hollowtech I'd feel more than comfortable racing you in a pedal removal / install competition!

That said, it's not really a speed thing for me, I just have a perennial fear of smacking my knuckles on the ground when removing pedals. It's my least favourite part on a bike to remove.
