I was wondering If anyone has both or has used both. I currently own the turtles and like the fin's they work great no problems. Just more curious if anyone that has used them actually noticed any differnce in "ease of moving, performace,Thrust etc..."
I know they are differnt as far as size of foot pocket but looking more for actuall use.
 
I have owned both.

Turtles are considerably more flexible. They're responsive enough ... especially for "finesse" kicking ... but don't have the acceleration you'll get from Jets or similarly stiff fins like Slipstreams.
