hardcore, your thoughts mirror mine on the two bows. I've got both the Allegiance and the Tribute, and can't tell that much difference between the two. I seem to usually pick up the Allegiance just because the extra fps I get with it is appealing; like you said, both are top-notch and it's a tough choice between them.

You're right, too: the Tribute is a touch shorter a-to-a, because its limb pockets establish a more sweeping, parallel design. More forgiving in principle too, as it carries a 1/2" taller brace height.

Congrats on your newest purchase!
