Just bought the Vectrix this week, and I am very happy with it. The draw is incredibly smooth, it rivals the Cam and a half. Incredibly quiet w/ NO shock or vibration. It is very easy to hold on target, it just....sits there.

I have no experiece w/ the Black Ice, so I can't speak intelligently on that. Here's my baby...gotta show her off a little, ya know?

I also baught the Vectrix XL, I have no info on the Diamond but I did shoot the new Mathews and Bowtech bows. The Vectrix is everything Mobowhuntr said.

You do know that it is going to come down to your opinion since your are the one throwing down the cash!

That's not a fair comparison is it? I'd pick the Vectrix over the Black Ice. What in the Bowtech line does the Diamond Black Ice compare to? Isn't that like Hoyt/Reflex, Bowtech/Diamond? Just a question?

Disregard, I did my own research and I've changed my mind, I couldn't decide without shooting them both.

If you can go to your local shop and test fire both, that is what I would do. It's not the bow that makes the hunter, it's the man behind the bow. Pick the one that feels and shoots the best in your opinion and then work with it setting it up the way you would like. Your local pro shop would be more than willing to help.
