Actually, I went a little high on the prices. Over on AT Pinwheel said the new Merlin XS has a MSRP of $839 and the new Merlin XT is MSRP $899.

Still, that's quite a bit of money. Hopefully the actual retail prices will be more competitive. Granted Merlin makes a top notch product. For those prices you can pickup a bow from any of the "big 3" companies and deck it out with accessories. That Merlin XS with viper cams is calling my name.
