I just purchased a Mathews Switchback XT yesterday, but had a hard time choosing bewteen the Trykon and the Mathews. What a great bow both units are. The Mathews just felt a "bit" better, mainly due to the lighter weight. Both shot fantastic, and I had a hard time not picking the Hoyt. Actually, when at full draw, the Hoyt felt more solid. Really it came down to almost flipping a coin, and, since I do a bit of stalking, the weight was a factor.

I would say that if you are looking for a bow, go to a dealer that is pretty objective and that will let you fire a number of models. Then it comes down to what feels best for you. I have not tried the BowTech Allegience, but heard that the Trykon, Switchback and Allegience are three bows that are in the same class.
