That's funny, I test fired the Marquis last week and found that it was even slower then my Rapture but was way smoother and had no vibration, compared to my Rapture which has quite a bit. I sold my Rapture enroute to my Black Ice incidentally. IMO the Black Ice is the best bargain out there that can compete with the big dawgs, it's got everything including great looks. So I will look good while killing my deer!
