C4 30 or C4 40

Hi everyone!

I have a question, someone might shed some light and help me.
I'm planing to buy c4 Falcon and now I'm not sure which one should I buy.
Regarding stiffness of the blades - 30 or 40.

Now, I have been spearfishing for years and in last 15 years I had one pair of Sporasub H. Dessault fins - I hope someone still remembers those: black footpocket, red blades (plastic).
What I have done to those fins is for another story but - they have survived to this day.
I have purchased Sporasub Pure recently on eBay and that was a mistake.
I got them used, blades are of different thickness (stiffness), one (thicker) is showing a beginning of crack at back (middle), it was poorly assembled, edges are falling off (I guess some glue might do the job)... in short - disaster.
So, I'm going carbon for sure, unless there is better material for spearfishing.

Depths - 20-30 meters, mostly waiting technique... I'm 5' 11" (180 cm) tall, 83 kg (182 lbs)...

any comments or advices regarding difference between c4 Falcon 30 vs. 40 ?

My first instinct was - "buy stiffer" but I'm not sure. My old H. Dessault fins are at least 40% softer that I would like, but I know how bad can wrong choice in this area be.

Thanks!
