Default Diamond Bows??

Hey, I just sold my mathews Switchback and am looking at buying a diamond. My question is this. Which bow do you perfer? The black ice or the Marquis? I have not shot the Marquis but I did like the black ice. Is there much of a difference? Does one weighmuch more?Any help from you diamond guys will be appreciated.

Greg

Consult their website for spec differences but in my personal tryouts I liked the Marquis a little better then the black Ice. Both were high up on my list but there was something about the Marquis that felt so fluid during the shot. By the way I ended up buying the Allegiance.

I chose the Marquis. It is a bit heavier but it is also faster. I also liked the longer ATA. I would not be disappointed to own either.

Same here. I liked the Black Ice, but wanted the same things - more speed and longer ATA. So far I'm very happy with my decision.
