So, since I am using my Magictail so much I decided to order a new tail skin, as birthday gift to myself. You do know you can order tail skins separately, right? I wanted to order a new one to have as a replacement, since Magictails are made of swimsuit fabric, and eventually, all swimsuit fabric gets ruined by chlorine.
Well, since I was doubtful between the Marina and the Arielle the first time I ordered, I chose an Arielle skin this time. I ordered it on January 27th, and it was already here on the 31st. Here are some pictures of the two tails together:

The blue one has stretched a bit with the use |
As you can see, there is a noticeable size difference between the two. I contacted Kirsten Söller to check if there was a mistake with my order, although I did not think so. Everything was marked very clearly with my chosen sizes; the monofin fits perfectly, and the tail fits me. I was informed that there is a tag inside the tail skin with the size, and indeed, mine is size L. So you can see that tails stretch quite a bit after some use. I have had the Marina for almost 2 years, but I have used it a total time of maybe 2 months of daily use, about 3 or 4 hours per day.
Both tails are not similar in color. The Marina is definitely a darkish blue with shades of black, and the Arielle, despite having shades of turquoise, it has a predominant soft green color. I love them both, but the Marina is still my favorite. I will probably buy more blue skins when mine has been completely worn out.
I will shoot a video comparing the two shortly. Stay tuned!
