I have shot them both alot and am torn between the two.

The General has a smoother draw cycle and is a little quieter, but a little slower.

The Guradian has a little harsher draw cycle, and is just as quiet with a MeanV.

Basically, for me, its a trade between draw cycle and a few fps...Since im keeping my guardian, i ordered an 82nd. I dont really want twobows that are that similar (the Guardian and theGeneral)
