I think carbon is better than aluminum. Definitely. I tried the Goldtip and would not try them again for reasons of quality. I know little about the others mentioned but can tell you I am perfectly satisfied with the Carbonaeros by Easton. They are straight, durable and will do the job. Taken two deer this year with them.

Remember opinions are like bootieholes, everyone has one.

Hey, size may not matter but it sure IS nice!
