Terry,
If I can ask..what were the 2 biggest factors that made you go w/ the Alligience?
This is a great post for me because I'm trying to descide the same as you.

I'm going to replace the Trykon w/ one of these. After buying a Black Ice this year I'm sold on the Bowteck/Diamond line.
Is the Tribute the same as the Black Ice except for cam type?
That might be the desciding factor to go Ally.
