Default Longbow vs. Recurve

Alright guys, I am about to get in to the sport, I have been shooting the pulleys for 3 years and it just isn't fun for me anymore. I imagine in about a month I will be putting a new bow on layaway at McCoy's and am debating on what I want my new affair to be.

I am sure this one has been done to death but I am still curious. Aside from limb design, what are the most distinctive differences between the two and what are your attractions to each?

They have a LH Recurve, I believe a Martin, for $300 (but he said he would knock $50 off for the used factor). And another custom LH Longbow for $399. The Recurve is a 62", 47# and the Longbow is 60" and 53#.

Just wanting a little info on the subject Gentlemen and I appreciate your time on the topic.
