using clipless in sprints...

i'm a happy clipless rider, using either spuds or spd-sl's depending on the bike. i wondered whether for a short event like a sprint clipless is going to waste more time faffing about in t2 than it saves with reliable foot positioning and power transfer.
i have this memory of a bloke coming into t2 behind me at my first event and even though i had left the shoes on the pedals at the dismount zone he was gone into the run before i could get my runners on.
so... anyone tempted to ditch the clipless for the short events or stick with a successful formula of right kit for the right disciplines?

Also my bike would look rubbish with flat pedals. He'd be grumpy for a month afterwards.
Then practice jumping out of your shoes coming into T2 and you'll be laughing all the way to the finish line. Unless, like me, you get stomach cramps every time you run off the bike. In which case you'll have to make do with a kind of self satisfied grimace.
