does everyone feel comfortable having to move their whole foot. My personal feeling is that those few milliseconds might make all the difference in an emergency stop.

Excellent points all.
I can't speak for the brain dead dealers.....as they should have a "set up" man to explain things like that to new owners and adjust them to fit YOU.
It makes a difference how long your legs are. Short legs, knee not bent much, places your toe more vertical at the peg (me). Longer legs, knee bent a lot makes your toe more horizontal (and lower) at the pedal. A similar thing happens with the shifter......which is also affected by the thickness of your boots.
The brake should absolutley be adjusted so that the pedal is UNDER your foot and not over.
