I bought my 10 point hunter xbow in 1996 and sold it last year I had to replace the cables and string 4 times and the cables on the crank cocker twice. I sold it for about 1/2 of what I paid for it. While they are quite expensive if maintained properly they do last.
I had a Excoset Excalibur for 10 years but I am 80 years old and it was getting difficult for me to cock it so I traded it in on a Parker Tornado which I find easier to cock and can get a good crank cock for if I need to in the next few years..
I can comfortably recommend any of these it depends on your needs, the only one I bought that I considered a mistake was a Barnett which my then wife picked out for herself and it was on the low end of what was available so it does not surprise me that we had many problems with it after she died of cancer I gave it away.
