When I bought my Trykon (used), it was 2 years old and I got a heck of a deal ($400 loaded). I had an option to get a 5 year old Mathews MQ1 for $450 no where near as loaded as mine. I picked the Hoyt based off of age and options, but the Mathews was a VERY tight second in the running. I have nothing but respect for the Mathews product line. But, it never hurts to laugh at things once in a while.
