One thing to look at on recurves is how the bow is built. How much of the bow is
riser section and how much is working limb?? You' ll be amazed at the difference there is between many production type bows. Even more amazed at the difference in the way the two bows will feel..

The longer the riser section the shorter the bending capabilities of the limb compared to an equal length bow with a shorter riser section resulting in a longer limb.

good luck
