No! The silver ones are a brand new model. They have far stiffer blades
than the pro and the foot pocket is one of the most comfortable that I've
ever experienced.

I'm planning on giving the TUSA fins a whirl this week just to make
comparisons. But were I in the market for a new pair of fins I'd still - at
this stage - lean towards the Scubapro Twin Jets. They were very
business-like and - apart from the price ticket <bwg> suited my finning
style to a 'T'! :-)
