Thanks Sean and Karolis,

Any advice on buying the "expensive" fins used?

I understand that g10 gets soft with use - the modern big fins are carbon, right? So, there should be no issue with wear and tear as long as they're not chipped or otherwise damaged?

I like the idea of big range. The site I sail has unpredictable winds, so having gear that works in the gusts while planing in the lulls is a big plus.
