We're originally from the Shoals area. Moved south with work.
Now you're question about the pedals. On the Grand L series, there are two pedals. There is a rocker pedal that can be used for forward and reverse. With your foot on the pedal, you press down forward (toes) for forward and press down backwards (heel) for reverse. There is also a second pedal to the right that can be used for forward only.
I've never been comfortable using my heel for reverse. The rocker pedal on the Grand L is forward enough that you can use the second pedal for forward and place you foot on the floor behind the rocker pedal and use the front part of your foot (toes) for reverse. In both cases, it's like driving a car in that your heel is on the floor and you operate the directional pedal with the forward part of your foot.
On the MX, there is only one pedal, the rocker style. On the one I tried, at least while wearing work boots, there was not enough room behind the pedal for my foot. The only way to work reverse is with the heel. Also, it doesn't feel as comfortable with one foot not resting on the floor, always higher than the other. This may all be personal preference. I'm sure there are those that prefer the rocker pedal. Good luck with your decision. Hope this helps.
