I shoot my Hornet at 28" draw with a 350 grain arrow. Only thing on my string is a TRU Speek Nok at two simms leeches.

Dave, That price is fantastic. I find that the price varies greatly depending on the dealer and what they are trying to accomplish. In my experience, smaller shops always have the lowest price. If you have the means and have shot and like the bow, I'd jump all over it. I have never shot the stinger, but it's only 2" shorter ata than the hornet (I believe) and has more brace height, so I suspect it will be plenty forgiving. I wouldn't hesitate to try one out if I had the opportunity, as I'm primarily a bowhunter, and that should be a killer hunting bow. I don't know what draw length you shoot or what nocking system you use (loop, brass or tie on nockset, fingers, etc) and at longer draw lengths string angle can become an issue with short ata bows. I suspect you'll find the grip on the hornet to be identical to the other Diamonds you've probably held.

They are truly quality well built bows that perform as advertised, backed up by phenomenal customer service. I sent my bow to them this year to have them install a new string and cable as well as put it back into factory time, I had my bow back from the day I mailed it in 4 days, for $25. I don't think you could go wrong. Good Luck.
