Hmm, so you ordered an '07 Allegiance. I would have been curious to hear from folks that had the '07 versions of each model as I have heard more than one comment mentioning a difference in feel between the '06 and '07 models. The weight reduction is probably behind this.

My pick probably would have been the Tribute as I tend to prefer a longer brace height and the slightly shorter axle to axle length. Though they are not the same bow for obvious reasons I have found my Diamond Black Ice to probably be my favorite hunting bow to date. The Black Ice and Tribute share many similarities though I thought it would prove worthwhile to mention it.
