Re: cheap fins or expensive

Spaghetti, you resemble the very handsome coral; hexagonaria!
I have not used any fancy carbon bi-fins - and generally have little patience for bi-fins. Since I discovered monofins I use mine for all diving. I have tried Cressi Garas, sporasub HDs, Omer ice and millenium runners. Of these the ice fins are the most comfortable (I have hundreds of hours on mine) - The millenium runners kick exactly like the ice fins but with a tad over twice the stiffness. Both have a very smooth return and are really nice to swim with - the runners feel better coming off the bottom in deeper water. The sporas foot pockets are a bit sloshy for me - and the rounded blade tends to side-slip. The Cressis are wonderful, but the pocket sizes don't quite hit it for my feet.
I like the polymer in the omers (runner and ice)- it has a very nice even return which makes the fins really enjoyable to swim with. I'd go with comfortable foot pockets first and foremost. I think the Cressis stand out as a very good value.
