Once you have a Mathews you will never own another bow. They may cost a little more up front but just look at how much they sell for on eBay when you decide you want to get another.
I see this a lot. I am in the market for a new bow and everyone keeps telling me how great Mathews are despite the overhead...then it is always followed up with a resale value. I want a bow that I will shoot for years, not a season. I want time tested gear...not something I can get a good $ for in a year.
