I have my own opinion on this and will give an explaination. You profess to be a new shooter, right? Then I would not consider any bow that is not draw length adjustable. One of the most important factors for shooting a compound bow is getting the draw length correct. Unless you have a lot of experience then you probably have no idea of what draw length you should shoot.
Most people will pick something too long, often way too long. If you buy a bow that is not adjustable then you're stuck with it. You can go through a process of changing cams and such, but at what expense to your pocket book and confidence.
You don't need to buy into all this hype about the latest and greatest bows that come out every year. In reality there isn't much difference between them, mechanically. There isn't enough difference, or one that you'll see, between something that costs $400 and one that costs $700 until you really know what you are doing.
Leave the draw length specific bows for the masters and pick something you can adjust till you know what your optimum (not necessarily correct) length should be, down to the last 1/8". It's that important.
You, know David, there is a whole wack of wisdom here. Specifically the DL issue. It may go against your recent passion so think hard about BGs post. When my Vulcan comes in I will let you swap My T-Master for my Ultra Tech. It is DL adjustable (I just put on a Gibblet string and dropped the DL to 27 inches). I know there are a few new Ultra Techs out there for pretty good prices and its going to be really hard to beat the Ultra Tech! This bow would be better than you for many years to come. NO, you can't buy it either but yes you can use it for a few months.
