Have not used the split fins myself Eddie, but heard lots of reports that fit the bill you say, I have tested out the Mares Volo though, if you can borrow them off someone to try then do that before you buy them. I found them extremely light which make them an excellent travelling/Holiday fin and they are very thin and flexible which relieves a lot of strain on your ankles, calves and knees, the down fall with them been Thin and flexible is that if they are left in the heat they can distort easily, I find that they didnt give me that initial thrust and that was in Mediterranean waters, god knows what they be like in a 2 / 3 knot drift if you needed to fin to the shot line on a wreck when you need to, and for the price they are a little steep.
If I was you I would look at the Dacor Tiger which are a patented design - exactly the same as the Mares Volo - but at 65 quid around a 25/30 quid cheaper - or a cheaper alternative but not so identical are the Dacor Panthers which retail around 35 quid
Im sticking to my trusty pair of NASAs which I bought in 1989 for 14 Quid
