Jerry,,,,, I'm afraid it's your decision. I have two Barnett Quad 300's and am very happy with them. I found I even liked them better last year when I took off the quiver and went to a hip quiver. My 300 will sent an alunium bolt at 337.5 FPS. I haven't fired a carbon through the chronograph yet but I think it's faster. The important thing is how it fits you. Then get all the practice you can and make sure part of it is from your treestand if you are going to use one.
