Whats the difference between the two? Why did Diamond make BowTech? Are the Diamonds of lesser quality than the BowTechs? How would a starter package of a Diamond compare to a BowTech.. how would the Marquis compare to the 101st?
Just some questions. Thanks!

As mentioned, Diamonds are single cam, Bowtech binary cam. The standard camo patterns are different, too (Diamond = gray (or grey), Bowtech = greenish). Diamonds are not of lesser quality at all. A starter package from Diamond is probably going to be a lot less expensive than Bowtech.
As far as comparing the Marquis to the 101st, let me tell a story. Shortly after I got my Marquis, the shop received the Airbornes. Naturally, I just had to shoot them both, and was instantly struck with "Airborne Envy" - primarily due to speed. Although the Marquis is very fast, the 101st is faster. But the more I shot my Marquis, while debating whether or not to get a 101st, too, the more I became attached to the Marquis. For me, personally, I can't justify the huge upcost for the Airbornes.
I wound up getting a Diamond Liberty for my "backup", and it's just as nice as the Marquis, IMO.
