MT,

If you are buying either an XT or a Drenalin, replacing an old bow, then shoot both and see what you think. I shot both, as I received $700.00 in CHristmas money, and for $30.00 more, the Drenalin was lighter, a little quieter, and and slightly more comfortable to shoot FOR ME.

I will say that if I already had a Switchback XT, I would not upgrade. Since I needed a new bow period, I chose the Drenalin ..... after shooting both side by side.
