LOL, it's called being anal retentive, me and Pydpiper got it, welcome to the club!! All the Excals have the same limbs and are the same width. About 36" uncocked but strung. I like the Phoenix a little more than the Vixen cause I shoot 70 some grain heavier arrows than stock, and end up about the same fps as a Vixen w/ stock 360 gr arrows. Either of which is a lot lighter than a wheel bow. Like anything else, there's trade offs. I live a real long ways from a shop, so I like the fact I can do all my own maintenance at home in a few minutes. I seem to recall reading somewhere the PSE xbows are made in Taiwan, but don't know for sure. I had one of them in the late 80's that was a good bow, but no where near my Excals. Good luck!!

ps: all Excals have the same fine triggers, about 3#'s
