Your thread makes it real easy to forgo even looking at the 2007 offerings.

My 2006 Tribute keeps me smiling & I still have my 04 Patriot to fall back on if need be.
I think owning the Patriot is your main problem, hard to be wowed when you've been shooting a Patriot. Some of the newer bows may be "better" but none are "that" much better.

Maybe one of the other brands mentioned will be what you're looking for.
