    Futures make the Controller quad that Indofins make a copy of. If you have Futures you can go with the original Futures version.
    Not cheap though!

    The one thing you have to keep in mind when forking out the big bucks for a set of Futures controllers is their high re-sale value on E(vil) bay.
    So if by some chance you don't like them just put them on E(vil) bay and watch the bidding war erupt and launch a jihad on your starting price.

    The Future Controllers are worth every penny on a Sweet or Baked Potato. What WAS expensive was trying many different sets of fins before the Controllers!

    I've had my sweet potato for about 6 months now and started on the future controller fins. In fact, when I was purchasing the board I made sure I got the future plug setup so I could put a set of controller fins in. This was all based on the info in this forum and especially Nev's comments in relation to the fins (and the fact that he was using controllers himself). Yes, they are expensive, although I have to say this board (with these fins) is by far the best board I have ever ridden. It is just SO MUCH FUN. I haven't tried any other fin setup, but why would I. The sweet potato and controller fins are a match made in heaven. So stoked I got this board - I feel like a grommet again.
