yep, i agree about the 452x. besides that you need to invest in a bowpress. walkswithagimp makes a great portable one. you need to learn how to tune the bow yourself and quit taking it to the dealer. if you're willing to take the time to go into so much detail - which is good - i'm sure you could figure that bow out down to the last detail. once you figure them out dually's are really easy to work on and shoot great.
