This may be a little drastic, but switching from a typical BC to a BP/W can help with trim. A BP/W will put more of the weight on your back rather than hips which is one of the causes of bad trim. I also struggle with being feet heavy and I have yet to be able to solve it, I dive a Zeagle Stiletto by the way. I have not completely solved the issue but I have got it to where I'm not as feet heavy. I haven't gotten to the point to where I want to switch fins yet but it certainly could help if you have heavy fins.
I don't know the Stiletto, but I dive an Aqualung Black Diamond (back inflate). What you say makes sense, but I guess I was thinking that new fins would be cheaper than getting rid of my BC!!
On my last dives in salt water I was wearing a 3mil John & LS-Jacket (I figure it works out to being the same as waering a 5mm fullsuit from a bouyancy standpoint) and had 10# in the trim pockets (right behind my shoulder blades) and 8# in the ditchable pockets just above my hips ... maybe I should try moving a couple more #'s off my hips to see what happens.
