Shot the LX today and must say that I was very pleased with the performance. I have a Legacy and the LX is as smooth drawing, shock free and around 10 fps faster than my Legacy. Both have very little to no valley, but that is ok if you know that up front. Compared the new Hoyt Cybertec to the LX and have to say the Cybertec is a sweet shooter as well. If the LX had 0 handshock, the Cybertec may have had .01 handshock. Speeds were very comparable, but, in my opinion, the draw on the Cybertec may have been a touch smoother with a definite valley. Will be a hard decision on which to get, for me, but will probably go with the LX. Both are wonderful shooting bows.
