Basically, from what I have seen and heard, a Diamond is a Bowtech is a Diamond. What that means is if you compare the two side by side, there is not a lot of difference. When Bowtech bought Diamond, they began to hold them to the same exacting standards under which Botech is made. They look alike , they shoot very similiar, but the Diamond is at a little lower price. I do not believe he could go wrong with a Diamond. BUT, PSE is making some fine bows too. I shoot a PSE, and I love it. So what he needs to do is find a PSE he likes and find a Diamond he likes and shoot them side by side if possible and make his decision that way. Then he will have a bow that fits him, meets his needs, and keeps him from thinking "what if", or "I should have"about some other bows.

Good hunting

God Bless
