Personally I would go with the Allegiance. I have an 05 and the only thing I don't like about it is the weight and they have made them lighter now. I have a 29" draw and at 58lbs. it shoots a 390 grain arrow at 270fps. At 70lbs. a 420 grain arrow at 285 fps. I love this bow but, I also like the Guardian very well too. I am waiting til next year to buy a new bow to see if they knock a little weight off of it like they did the Ally.
