Mares Quattro and Apollo Prestige fins (or Dive Rite)

[Bom]

I read from here and it seems many people love the Quattro. I personally have Apollo Prestige fins and like it but eager to know how different between the Quattro and Prestige. Unlucky that no one around me use the Quattro so I can't try by myself. So it will be great if you could share experience about these 2 fins or between DR and Quattro. I guess prestige and DR are not different.

Thanks,

I use both. The DR EXPs are my drysuit fins. I use the Quattros when I dive with a wetsuit. Both are great fins for all finning styles. The DR fins are much stiffer which I like when diving with a drysuit.

Yes, they are the same fin save spring straps.

I too own both and my experience/opinion mirrors Kim's. The XTs are a much stiffer fin, I actually preferred them over the Mares which I found to be a little "twisty" when frog kicking. If you predomantly flutter the Mares are IMO better but if you predomantly frog then I'd go the XT/Prestige.
