I own an AR (Archery Research)... which I think (quite sure though) is a branch of PSE. I like my AR better than my old Mathews.

This is the way I see it...
The bow is a weapon, made to take a deer. The most useful weapon is your knowledge about the environment and behaviors off deer. I have been more sucessful than my friend who shoots a Mathews using my AR, and he hunts twice as much. Trust me its not all luck. Getting the deer close enough has nothing to do with your bow... unless your bow is made of chrome.

It all comes down to how comfortable you are with the bow you want. Like Germ said... those are all companys who make terrific bows. I think people are pressured because years ago, Mathews bows were king because they were in fact made better.

But as they always say... go to your local bowPROshop and test them out.
