Road Bike Pedal Recommendation?

It's time to get new pedals. I have used the old Time Equipe pedals
for many years (the ones that use the two-part cleats). I want pedals
with comparable float (at least 10 degrees) and a realtively large
platform. It would also be helpful if i didn't have to get new shoes;
I have an older pair of Sidi Genius, the ones that use different
plates on the soles for different cleat bolt patterns.

Any recommendations?

Speedplay Zero.

Do I need a new adapter plate and, if so, where can I find them?

Crank Brothers? You even get a choice of bolt patterns.
(I use Look KeOs which are great, plenty of float but not exactly
big.)

when using a shoe with a rigid sole, what benefit do you think a "large
platform" affords you?

I feels like it gives my extra wide feet more support.

oops, quick google, only 6 float

(I use Look KeOs which are great, plenty of float but not exactly

Modern pedals do tend to be smaller, partly so they can be lighter.

How about the Campy pro fit pedals; are they any good?

Yes and no g. Great when they work; not so great when you put new
plastic AND steel ($$$) cleat parts on and the pedal releases even
easier than it did with old, clearly worn stuff on there. Well,
releases "sideways" anyhow because one redeeming feature I found with
the ProFits was, as long as you kept your foot pointed straight ahead,
the cleat would stay in even when really worn. Much better than the
Looks I used previously.

Confessing, I got halfway ("stopped before going to Home Depot to buy
a clamp, as seen in Campy Only") through replacing the pedal springs
(more $$$) on one of my four sets of Campy Chorus Profits and went to
Shimano 6610's-- one pair to start and then more for "the fleet" when
I found I liked them.

They've held up very well (two years approx. on the oldest, not tons
of miles), the cleats last well during limited-distance, store-stop
walking, and have "pontoons" that make said walking much less
precarious than Look or Campy IME.

The newer 6620's (and Du-race equivalent) have metal plate contact
areas that should last much longer than the replaceable plastic ones
on the earlier-model 6610's; I think there's quite a bit more area,
too.

They can be a little sticky to get into, but mostly because (for me),
I tend to forget which pedals I'm riding and "fail to stab correctly".
Do it right, easy entry; the "out" seems somewhat stout which works
for me. --D-y

How about the Time RXS models?

The adapter plates for older Sidi shoes are available at
excelsports.com . I just bought a set last week after switching from
SPD-style road pedals to the RXS.
