I feel like most bows from a reputable company are almost the same. By that I mean a quality unit. I also NEVER EVER listen to people who tell me Hoyts are the best or Matthews. I went to a shop 30 miles from my house to see if I could shoot some Elite bows as I was curious. Guy said "If you're gonna spend that much money just buy a Hoyt or a Matthews..." Needless to say I just walked out. Its a kin to someone telling you Shimanos are the best... That close minded attitude is really a disservice to consumers. Its sad that elitism is so prevalent in all hobbies.
When bow shopping I tend to focus on the things that I can quantify vs who makes the bow. IE ATA, Brace Height, Cam system (single, binary, dual etc), back wall, grip, noise, customer service etc. Most people dont do this... They start looking @ manufacturer and go from there which to me seems quite backward.
Once I figure out what I'm looking for I'll shoot as many manufacturers bows as I can in my desired spec range. I could give a hoot who makes it. If I shoot it and like it I'll buy it.
For the record, I shoot a hoyt rampage xt. Just bought it. Brand new left over 2012... Cam with a QAD rest, 10 carbon arrows, 5 pin sight, quiver, Hoyt case... 475 dollars. Only reason I bought it was because of the smoking deal.
I'm already looking for another bow. Specifically the Athens Recluse or a new breed archery eclipse.

Elite was that way for me. My son tried them all and preferred the Diamond.

I'm a Matthews guy personally. I have never shot a Hoyt. I bet it is a great bow though. I have debated with myself on going to another bow. Then I read an article on the Matthews owner in a bowhunting magazine. I like that he is a Godly man and gives enormous amounts of money to ministries and charities. Just my 2 cents.
God grant that I may fish until my diying day;
And when at last I come to rest, I'll then most humbly pray;
When in His landing net I lie in final sleep;
That in His mercy I'll be judged as good enough to keep! -Homer Circle
