Well, I just went the other way. Just got rid of a set of turtles, and have ended up with a pair of Mares Superchannel (just like the quattros/X3/every other mares avanti fin) and find they're great. Just as good as the turtle.

The only thing is I need to reduce weight at the feet end. I have found myself foot heavy since my move to the Inspo, and this is helping me along the way. Unfortunately for most OC divers this isn't the case, and the heavier fins are a necessity as their gear isn't trimmed out to keep the feet down enough. But then if you use jets/turtles you don't have a problem.

Digs.
