Yeah maybe... But I think the "More Parallel" limb design really helps it alot...More Brace Height, shorter bow, almost same speed (3fps slower)... I am not saying to run out and buy it if youhave the switchback or something compairable... Just saying it seems likethey took it to the next level... And for me $100 MAX will get it... Since I can sell mine for almost what I paid for it... Seems worth it to me...But hey, I always have liked the lastestjunk out there...
