Haven't tried the General, but it is just too short for my preference. My preferenceis a bow that is at least 33 inches ATA. I have two with those current specs. So I was wanting to try something a tad longer to see if there was much difference. I've heard a lot of positive feedback about the Bowtech center pivot design. So I thought the Commander might be worth a try. I will also try the Guardian again. I just figured it is already close to the same specs as my current bows. Just thought of trying something different. Any info you can provide (pros/cons) on the Commander '07 and '08 would be appreciated. I've also only owned single cam bows so far. So what is the draw cycle and back wall feel like on the Commander?
