In my opinion it's not. Don't get caught up in the whole fps thing, the Black Ice is great. They're both plenty fast and hit just as hard, you're only talking about 2 - 3 foot pounds of KE extra out of the Ally. They are both beautiful bows however and as a matter of fact, after browsing the internet for a little last night I teased my wife and told her I was picking up an Allegiance to add to my art work collection tommorrow and her answer was a resounding NO. I was trying to convince her that they are works of art and started pointing to the walls telling her which bow that I would have hanging on each and every wall, lol
