A year ago I was in the same boat as you. I shot the Tribute, Switchback XT and the Hoyt. Came down to the SB and Tribute and I chose the Tribute because I was just a little more proud to own it over the Mathews. I also liked the fact that Bowtech contributes a portion of their sales to the military, which has nothing to do with performance of the bows. If one of the bows tugs at your heart and gives you a little more pride of ownership than that might be your choice. The good thing is you can't go wrong with either one.
