Many of the newer bows are smooth compared to the older ones. I have a Martin Bengal with the M-Pro cams and it is as smooth, if not smoother, than any bow I have shot. I also shot the Moab this year and found it to be the same. I think it is a good bow for the money. Last week I orderd a new Allegiance and the draw on those are smooth as well. If you are looking into buying a new bow, most people will agree that you should shoot as many bows as possible because their are so many good ones out there today. The main thing is to find the bow that fits you properly and fits your financial situation.
