Well, all I can tell you is from my experience of comparing when I bought my Tributeby shooting them both, and with the guy I shoot with weekly having a Matthews, and his constantly remarking how much faster and quieter mine is than his--that I would have to say that we are on opposite spectrums as far as experience goes. My Tribute is set at 74 lbs, and his Matthews at 55, and yet mine is quieter, and the difference would partially account for the speed difference. A few ounces means absolutely nothing to me. I prefer some weight for aiming stability. So my advice---buy a Chevy!!!
