Yes, it is going to be a tough decision Jeff for those comparing the Black Ice with the Marquis. The Marquis better controls vibration and noise levels than the Black Ice but the Black Ice is noticeably lighter and more compact. I could go either way with these two.

However, the Black Ice is still the bow I pick up out of the four of them when I am heading out for hunting. That could change though the more I shoot the General. I need to pick up a set of the speed mods just to see how they feel on the General.
