The Trykon has more than just a little speed edge....I know how hard that choice is...when I shot them, I shot 4, the Tribute, Allegiance, Trykon and the Switchback...after shooting all 4 for hours, I put them in ratings in this order, Trykon, Allegiance, Tribute and then Switchback. Even though I loved how the Switchback shot, it just couldn't out perform the Allegiance and Trykon with all else, draw, shock, noise, vibration etc being all but equal. So with all else being close to the same, speed was added...with speed comes Kinetic Energy....The Switchback falls short of the other 3 in this respect so I narrowed it down to the Trykon and Allegiance....I put money down on the Trykon only to go back 2 days later to buy the Allegiance. I own both today.

My good friend was dead set on the Switchback, he came up and shot all 4 as well and he forgot all about the Switchback and ordered the Trykon. The Switchback as great a bow as it is...falls short with all else being equal. It comes down to personal preference after that.
