.....well, I've been VERY happy with my Bio-Fins (one original YELLOW pair 4-5 yrs old at least)...as well as a WHITE pair...and a BLACK pair made of the of the 'firmer-rubber-compund', both of these pairs bought in the last year or so) and all with the SS spring straps. I've never heard/seen a failure on a Bio-Fin such as yours.......the only 'weakness' I've seen is after a while the rubber bumper on the SS spring strap wears out and starts to crack.......and recently noticed a little 'rustiness' forming on the 'screws' of my 'old' YELLOW pair, which surprised me a little as they (the screws) are only about a year or so old, but it's very minor.......also, my dive buddy a few months ago had the rubber 'pull-ring' on one of her Bio-Fin straps break (her fins are a few years old too, but newer than my 'old' YELLOW ones)...although I've never experienced that particular failure. While not 'perfect', I still really like my fins and would recommend them to anyone...very comfortable.....very effective.
Scubatoys has them @ only $188 (after your Scubaboard 10% discount) and no sales tax unless you live in Texas...plus free shipping...that's quite a good price for what I consider the world's best fin !
Hmmm... I've dived my Apollo Bio-Fins for about five years and up to 350 dives in a year with no sign of anything other than reasonable wear. And I thought I wouldn't like split fins! My only "complaint" about them (and I knew it before I bought them) is that they are too heavy to travel with so I just take my Blades when I backpack.
