I don't think you'll find a better bow for the money that you can go out the door and hunt with. I bought a 05 Tomkat last fall and hunted the entire season. My friend also bought one. I just sold mine and bought a new Tribute. It was hard to let it go. If it had the new cams I would never have sold it. The bow is very forgiving, quiet, and fast. The guy I sold it to shot in a 3d tournament the next day with it and called me to tell me how much he enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong, to each his own, but my opnion is that the Tomkat is a great bow. Especially for the price. Just make sure that you shoot it before you make your decision.
