Default Parker phoenix 34 = smooth draw?

I'm going bow shopping next week to look at some reduced price 2003 leftovers and the new 2004 line up.
Problem is the shop I'm driving 2 hours to go to doesn't have any of the Phoenix model parkers in stock. I don't want to buy my next bow without at least considering them.
If someone could give me their opinion of the following it could help me resist the lowered price on the 2003's. (machete- $400, diamondback vx $300 and others)

How smooth does the New Phoenix 34 draw back ?
Do they have a solid wall?
Do the Parker cams have any nock travel issues?

Without shooting one IMHO they look great.
Thanks for your time.......

Thought I'd bump this, as I had a chance to draw a Phoenix over the weekend, and it was a phenomenal experience.

Anyone have any input on these bows? I've got lot's of questions...

I'm sure the phoenixs are going to be great bows. When I asked the shop about them he said he doubted they would order anymore Parkers since they are now supplying them to catalog stores.
I wonder how many other shops feel betrayed enough to drop them?

Anyhow, after testriding the Patriot VFT I had found my new bow.

No need waiting on the Phoenixs, but like I said- I'm sure they are great also.

I just orderd a 32 from Jacko, a member here, so I should have some real shooting time here real soon. BTW Jacko has great prices too. Including shipping it was still $35 less than my local shops charge before taxes and still less than Cabelas catalog price. I can hardly wait.

Hope you don't mind the plug jacko.
