[cool]Hey, JR, it's a 
fact of life that we periodically have to replace gear that we have loved and enjoyed for a long time. It's an emotional thing sometimes. Those fins I replaced had kicked me around all over the country, in both fresh and salt water, for about 18 years. They were still serviceable, but were showing some cracks and wear. I retired them with full honors.
If you want to look at some of the other options available these days, here are a few links...beginning with the Mares home page and a couple of other manufacturers, and finishing with some discount online sources.
