As far as I know of the Patriot is gone for 06.....the Liberty and Justice were moved to the Diamond line and that is it. The Allegiance pretty well replaces the Patriot with the exception of it being dual cam bow. The Tomkat's are an excellent bow with a good price. The 06's have even more parallel limbs and IBO speeds are up. Around here they are running $499 for the package deal. Really you can't go wrong with one especially starting out...and will should last you a long time. The Tribute is definitely a step up with the Binary Cam system and 20 fps difference. Plus about $150 difference for a bare bow. There's a reason Bowtech has started on a 2.1 million dollar expansion. Demand for their bows.....you don't see any other Company doing any expansions right now. And guys....always consider customer service.....they have one of the best, if not the best. Hope this helps.
