I, too, like longer ATA bows. Haven't tried a Commander yet. The local Bowtech dealer kinda made a face when I mentioned the Commander - made some comment along the lines that the General (which I have tried) was the bow to own in the Bowtech lineup. As much I like the Vectrix XL over the regular Vectrix, it seems logical the Commander would be a real sweetheart.
I can't imagine somebody making a face at you when you mention the commander, I have a 07' that has really impressed me. The shop here raves about them as well as the General. The only real difference is the commander is a bit longer.....I love mine and would not let the shop owner talk you out of one if you like the longer axle to axle bows and don't mind the added weight of a longer bow.....Commander is the quietest bow, with zero hand shock that I have ever put in my hands.....And still shoot in the 300 fps range with hunting shafts.....If anybody is out there looking for a longer bow I would recommend the commander to anyone of them without hesitation......
