Have to disagree with the above, My omer ice fins were not significantly more expensive than the competitors and a warrenty is a useful thing on any product. Although as you said no use resurfacing with one fin. The 'old' series of millenium ice fins did have issues with fins breaking, these by my experiance are sorted in the new generation, guess the warrenty is the manufacturers way of trying to regain credability for the product after the issues with the first wave of fins. Carbon fins are notoriously easy to snap or spit especially when kicking up from or swimming in rocky areas (sitting on them in the boat doesn't do them any good too). True the cressi fins have an unblemished record but personally I dislike the foot pockets (a feeling shared by many I believe) and have trouble with them especially at depth, something I also have trouble with from the omers but in their case due to their material construction, my technique and the fact they are designed as an all round fin not a freediving fin.
Well thats my two cents the post above reads a little like 'Omer' bashing, possibly from bad personal experiance. But all views are valid and welcome.
Hope this helps.
