Road shoes - Shimno R077 or Dhb-R1?

Looking for something for my road bike. One of the above. I think 50 quid is about my price point.
It seems wiggle seem to be the only retailer of the DHBs, but I can go to Evans and grab the Shimanos, and fingers crossed they will match the fatbirds.co.uk price.
My concern is buying something online which doesn't fit, unless 1 is much better than the other.
dhbs - 49.99
shimanos 45.95
Any other recommendations?
My other questions is regarding the cleats. Do you buy those separately, or do you chose the type you want when you buy them?
Many thanks

I've got the DHB R1's and use them for commuting, they're very comfortable and good quality for the price.
With regards to cleats they come with the pedals.Road - http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40044&t=12777154&p=16943702#p16943702

DHB are a Wiggle in-house brand so you'll only find them there!
I tried both, the R1 was slightly wider and more comfortable for me. Light, stiff and very comfortable. I like mine.Trail fun - Transition Bandit
Road - Wilier Izoard Centaur/Cube Agree C62 Disc
Allround - Cotic Solaris0 -
R1's here - had mine for 15 months and they are great for the price."If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got."

Seems there is an issue that as they stretch (or if you have narrow feet) that the straps won't go through the rings past the stitching, if you want to make them extra tight.
Is that actually something worth worrying about?
I prefer the red of the DHB too....0
