With a string suppressor such a huge brace is just wasted space IMHO.
The power stroke has been shortened byover an inch (assuming 7 inch BH)resulting in the nock releasing from the string faster.... Allowing a more "forgiving" hunting bow. How is that wasted space?
But a General with 7 1/2" to 7 3/4" brace at 320+ would sure read a lot better on paper for magazine flipper type shoppers.
That is where the Guardian comes in...
