Hi, I'm thinking of buying the Scubapro Jet Sport Fins. However, I'm torn between buying the jet sport vs Jet fins.
Any comment on this?
I can't find any review on the Scubapro Jet Sport fins.
 
Is there a noticable difference when you spend a little money on them?

It's important to get good fins that fit well and suit your dive style, but it's not important to spend a lot of money to get good fins that fit well and suit your dive style.

Figure out what style fin you want (paddles, blades, splits, etc) and then find the ones that fit best. Then ask how much they cost.

Don't get distracted by the fact that they both have the word "Jet" in the name. They are two different fin styles.

Jets are "paddles" which are a touch wider than the blades, and a little bit shorter. They are very stiff and are well-suited to frog kicking and fine maneuvering. They are OK for flutter kicking, but because they are heavier and stiffer they aren't ideal for flutter kicking.

and the Jet Sports are "blades"

Blades are longer and a bit more flexible, and also lighter. They are OK for frog kicking, but due to their longer length and flexibility aren't great, even less so for fine maneuvering. They are designed for, and better suited to, flutter kicking.
