Steve,
I can help you with the Hilton standard pedal to Goodrich 120 comparison. From my website:
"I measured the Hilton stroke from full off to full on at 13.4 degress and the Goodrich at 15.9 degrees. So the Hilton has a little less stroke in terms of degrees and actual travel. Based on this and the taper of the Hilton, it is similar in action to the Goodrich but acts a little quicker. I found it somewhat easier to do volume gutting with the Hilton but at the same time, the Hilton was not radically different from the Goodrich in terms of smoothness, taper or stroke. Both pedals are excellent in this regard. One of the diagrams below shows the layout and math I used to determine the degrees of travel (arctan of opposite/adjacent triangle sides, simple algebra). Overall, the Hilton has a slightly lower profile than the Goodrich. The Hilton was 1/4" lower than the Goodrich in the front and 3/4" lower in the rear in the full on position. In the full off position the Hilton was 5/8" lower than the Goodrich in the front and 3/4" lower in the rear. Study the diagram below a bit and you can see that the Goodrich top platform is nearly level in the full on position whereas the Hilton is tipped back slightly. In the full off position, both pedals are at about the same angle. For me, the standard Goodrich 120 pedal height is OK but a little higher than I like. The reduced height of the Hilton gives me a little more clearance when wearing my shoes. It does this without sacrificing the comfortable pedal travel I was used to in the Goodrich."
