jetfins or turtle fins, or cheap knock-offs?

Having lost one of my quatros (I know, wrong sort of straps), so need a new pair - so might as well get some Jetfins. I've looked at prevous posts on this, and concensus seems to say Scubapro Jetfins or Turtle fins. Anything to chose between these ? They are the same price, but no shop seems to sell both. On some earlier posts it seemed to be a matter of sizing as much as anything. I'm size 9 (UK) shoes, so perhaps size 10+ drysuit boots and the Quatros were XL if that's any guide on that score ? Leaving aside size, is there any preference otherwise ? Also what about the various knock-offs eg Norther Diver ones, or Beaver which are perhaps half the price. I've got a bargain pair of US diver ones off ebay, which look the same and are heavy rubber, but are too small so useless for me.

Any thoughts?

PS - anyone want to buy a single Mares Quatro fin ? Actually the other fin is also included in sale, but the buyer must collect it from where it lies in 35m water near the wreck of the Lucy in Pembrokeshire.

Thanks

Hywel
