Nope, just your fashionability. Honestly, I'd be shocked if you find the Volos stiff enough. Just like you, I have the Rondines as my paddle fin...they seem stiffer than the Volos by a pretty good degree. Maybe...just maybe...the Tusa Tri-Ex fins will do the trick.
Halthron,
The volos are not designed to be stiff. We make a black color to support the Navy Seals. Otherwise they are the same. If you are looking for a strong power fin, that will be a little stiffer, I'd go with the new Quattro Excel fin. This has massive amount of power, and a little bit of our optimal pivoting blade technology making this a super strong fin to swim with. Also a great comfortable foot pocket, as is with all of our fins.

How about the Dive Rite fins? I recently bought a pair and they seem quite stiff, but I don't own any jets to compare them to.

I've got a pair of Mares Quattro Excels, they are a fantastic fin, I do love them, great for the power they deliver. However during my DM course I did my equipment exchange with a guy who was using the Mares Volo Power fins. I found how soft they were fantastic, I really liked the way they didnt kill your ankles or calves evening when finning really strongly against a current. The only thing putting me off buying a pair, is this little quandry. Can you frog kick effectively in them?I didnt try it when I had them on and now no longer have the chance, they just look a bit soft for that kind of kick. I do alot of sand and wreck diving. Consequently I spend a lot of time frog kicking to stop the kick up of the sand in my customers faces behind/around me!

get caravelle fins. They are really really stiff and generate alot of power. They have a long blade for an open heel fin. i used to hate them because they were too long and too stiff, but now i will swear by these fins. I also heard that alot of spearfishing divers love to use these when in cold waters, so that could be the reason for the long blade...
