I just got a pair of Mares Raptor split fins and am happy with them for the most part. I found that it requires much less effort to move than it did with the paddle fins I used during my certification. All of that being said, so far I am just a recreational diver and not yet into anything advanced or technical. I do have a bit more trouble turning and maneuvering in awkward directions with the split fins, though.
FWIW, one problem I have had with both pairs of Mares fins I have used is weird sizing. The first pair were too long and narrow in the foot fitting, and my current pair are just right in length but too wide (actually had to buy a bigger pair of boots to make them fit correctly). And both were supposedly the same size from the same manufacturer. LOL.
