I have both and the Marquis has put my Black Ice to the back up position.

Both are very sweet bows but the Marquis does push my arrows out a lot faster.

61lb 28" draw 490gr arrow @ 246fps and just for gigglesI put a 322gr arrow through the crono at 296fps.

Now my Black Ice with the same 490gr arrow is only shooting 225fps.

Matter of fact I will be using the Marquis at a 3d shoot in a couple of weeks in the "Unlimited" class with the only change from a hunting set up will be a long stab and slightly lighter arrows either 480gr ones or 410gr arrows both of which have a 20% + FOC. The 480 gr arrows will have a 100gr brass inserts with 125gr field tips the 410's will have standard inserts with 175gr tips

I know some guys are not going to like pulling those arrows out of the foam specially if it is cold
