What is the difference between the Mares avanti quattro and plana avanti quattro? I have been diving with apollo biofin for 7 years and want a fin with a little more feel. I want a blade that is light for travel and black in color. I don't like colorful fins yellow, blue etc... What do you think?
avanti quattro vs. plana avanti quattro

Well I had the Plana avanti quattros and had no issues with them, that is until I got to try out the aqua lung slingshots. I find that the slingshots move me along better with less effort.

It's the same fin. The full name is "plana avanti quattro"
Mares - just add water
If you want feedback from your fins, you will feel it with these.

That's why I asked. I can't tell the difference. I'm thinking the Plana is a little less stiff maybe? I can't tell anything by just looking at the pics or the description.
Yes, those 2 pages are pretty pointless for a customer trying to make any desisions. I'd say they've used the same photo in both. I really like their Tech info (click for info on the right of page).
For the plana; Blade Dimensions: length: 38 cm / 14.5 in, thrust area: 780 cm² / 109 in²
For the avanti; Blade Dimensions: Length 38cm / 15in Thrust area 780cm_ /121in_
