I think the carboprenes is a good fin, but I have never tried them coming up from depth, only in a pool. therefore I cant speculate how they'll perform in the deep.
in the pool they felt nice, but I couldnt notice any difference b/w them and the carbono 21 (stiff version), even though the manufacturer claims that the canal makes them thrust more water. perhaps the difference is more in efficiency? I am not sure. but if you are a foot shorter than me, and you are looking for a pretty soft fin, maybe these are the ones you are want. keep in mind that they are pretty pricey though.
I love the picasso foot pocket though, which is why I was looking to get them in the first place. however, with my height of 6'6 I prefer a longer fin.
btw, I dont think you can the blades off cause they are glued. actually, you can take them off, but then you have to be prepared to reglue them back on cause otherwise they might not stay on. picasso used to have a prob with blades coming off, so finally they decided to start glueing the blades.
