I have both and have commented in other fin threads regarding these fins, The Eddy and the Go-Sport.
The Eddy is a superb fin, high quality, durable monoprene materials and a stainless steel spring strap. It is a fin that will not fail a serious diver. The fin just exudes quality. The Eddy is a great frog kicker, among the best, at least a 9.0, and maneuvers, I have to give it a 9.0. Flutter, well, not so good, I give it a 6.0. It is just too stiff. Travel use, it is a lightweight choice. It fits easily into dive bags. Comfortable, great foot pocket, at least an 8. The Eddy is not a good snorkel fin.
I was estactic with my Eddy until, well, one day I tried a Scubapro Go-Sport. It was if a light bulb came on! Here is a super lightweight fin that travels easily and gives up very little if anything. I had tried so called "travel" fins before, most notably the Aeris Accel and was not completely happy. They just gave up too much thrust and durability was a concern. But not the Go-Sport. It too is a quality construction and materials, though not as robust as the Eddy. It is noticeably lighter than the Eddy in the same foot size and the same or larger in blade area.The Go-Sport does every kick very well. It maneuvers, helicopters, backs up, stops with precision, I give it an 8.0. And it frog kicks just fine, I give it a an 8.0 for frog. But here is the difference, for flutter kicking against a current it just kicks the Eddy Fins rear. It is 9.5 flutter kicker. The pre-bent blade and snappy tip are the difference. Comfort, it is a 10. Snorkel diving, well, it is not a free diver fin but for casual snorkeling and free diving, the Go is a GO!
If a diver is "technical" and can honestly say they frog kick 90% of the time and as well for use in temperate exposure gear (about neutral), go Eddy. If a diver is recreational and has no qualms in shifting to a flutter kick when needed and for warm water, minimal exposure gear use (they float), then the Go-Sport is the choice.
Both are size Large and fit similarly:
Just adding, I gave the nod to the Eddy over the Go-Sport in maneuvering but in some maneuvers, the deeper side rail of the Go-Sport gives it the edge.
My Eddy Fins are not for sale, I love them but for a travel fins, my go to fin is the Go-Sport. All that said, if I know I am going to be bucking current over a distance, just give me the Quattros.
