Anyone switch to Hollis F-1's after light/neutral fins?

[WreckDiver1321]

I'm considering getting a set of Hollis F-1's, and I know they're a good fin but I have my reservations. I'm just perfectly set trim wise now with neutral/slightly buoyant fins. If I switch to the Hollis fins will it throw my trim out if whack? I know when I dive dry, heavier fins is a nonissue. But I want fins to use both dry and wet, that will perform all kicks well, and the F-1's fit the bill perfectly, but are also just over a pound negative. Will I go foot heavy, or is it not going to make much difference?
Thoughts?

Tough to say. I used to have a set of fins for travel (lighter and less buoyant) and use my F1's for local drysuit diving.In December I brought my Hollis F1s to the Keys and then to Antigua. NO problem with being foot heavy whatsoever. It was great. Ive gotten so used to the way they perform, I didnt want to go back to the other fins. I love how versatile the Hollis fins are.

The F-1's aree neutral in saltwater and about a lb neg in fresh. Since I usually dive a full suit or drysuit in freshwater I see no negative effect on trim. In the pool with just a skin or swimsuit they feel just a tad heavy until I get in a modified frog and then that feeling goes away.

+1 on diving them everywhere all the time with no issues. Wish they were a bit lighter for travel purposes but the benefit of having them outweighs the addl weight in the checked bags. Love these fins.
