So I went and shot the Bowtech's... the Guardian, the 101st, and the Commander (the General and the 82nd were not in stock).
Here are my thoughts:
The commander felt great, but too long for my likes as a bowhunter.
The Guardian felt pretty good, but there was some decent vibration that I'll attribute to the rest that was installed.
The 101st felt great... AFTER you got it to full draw. The draw cycle felt extremely rough... maybe I'm getting soft in my old age of 25, but the Vectrix (side by side) at the same draw weight put the bowtech to shame. It also seemed pretty loud but I can't make a judgment on that because I was shooting in a block tunnel.
A couple of guys at the shop agreed that the draw cycle on the 82nd was even more harsh than the 101st. Anybody have any opinions on that?
I'm definitely not sold yet, but I'll keep this open mind for a while...

Something was amiss with that Guardian... you should have felt almost no vibration.
Yes, I agree that the rest had quite a bit to do with that. The place was closing and I didn't want them to rig up a new rest, but I'll give it another shot.

Austin, I have shot the Katera and I agree... I really like it. I've had a new hoyt each year for the last 4 and am thinking about a change of pace...

Germ, is Elite still having customer service issues or did all that get straightened out? I'll try to find a cardiac to shoot.
Well I won't know until June when mine is made[&:] I shot one Right handed. From the guys I have talk to on th Elite Forum all is good.
Good to know. Thank you.
