RE: The General or the Black Ice
I was in the same situation, after looking around, these were my top 2 bows. In the end I thought the General was the better bow for me and that's what I went with. I think the center pivot and the weight of the bow make it a very very steady holding bow, the extra brace height was also a selling point. Like MeanV, my preference is also for binary cams, and the General is a good bit quieter. Either way, I think you'll be happy with your bow, and won't be underbowed in any way shape or form.
