All I can say is I enjoy very much my new VFT. I did try all the others you mentioned except the Ben Pearson, plus I also added in the Hoyt Razortec and the Patriot DC for effect. I liked the VFT the best because of speed, price, quiteness and lack of hand shock. All of the bows you mentioned are quality bows and yes I believe the VFT type limbs are a trend on the rise. When choosing between these it just boils down to personal preference.

My Bowtech VFT is a 70 lb, 29" model. The Bowtech birth certificate says 317 IBO. My actual is 306-307 with a 367 grain arrow. That' s with string loop, peep, and standard Bowtech hush kit. I am truly amazed at how quite and shock-free this bow is, especially when generating this much speed.
