I have to agree with Matt on this one. I'm no expert, nor have I shot the 101 or the commander, but on paper, I really like the looks of the Commander. Ironically, you don't hear much talk of this bow. I think it's a sleeper in the lineup. I'm shooting a 34" bow right now, and it's too short for me, so longer ATA and a more foregiving brace height is what I would look for. Then again, it's been discussed by those who have shot both the 82nd and 101st that they truly can't tell much of a difference, but who knows...I might have a totally different take if I were to shot them myself.
