RE: PSE or Mathews bow?
Quite honestly the only PSE made bow I care for is the Browning Illusion.
Mathews bows, in my opinion, are over priced and poorly constructed. I do have a Mathews LX that I use as a back-up bow that I am very fond of... but I got it NIB for $200.... I'd say its worth about $400... but the Drenalin, which I have shot, is certainly not worth the $830 price tag they command at my nearby shop. $600.... ok... maybe.... MAYBE...
Its all up to you... you are the only one shooting it.
As a company... I'd take PSE if I was an investor, and Mathews if I had something broken that I needed fixing. As a consumer, I'd take High Country, Hoyt, BowTech, Diamond or Bear. No particular order.
