I was fairly impressed with the Ross bow I handled last year. As the others mentioned the fit and finish was quite good. The bow shot with very little recoil and noise plus the draw was fairly smooth. The only downside really is that it was a bit slower than competing models.

I would definitely suggest that you take a look at some of the Diamonds as well. Both the Liberty and Black Ice should be comparable in design with a touch more speed. I can personally attest to the satisfaction that the Black Ice has provided for me. I was down at the local shop shooting it last night and the bow continues to impress in just about every category.
