In the last year I' ve bought 3 bows, Mathews Legacy, Bowtech Generation 3, and Hoyt ProTec. I still have the Hoyt!! Nuff said. Basically the bows performed just like they are advertised:

Mathews: Very smooth, very quite and pretty forgiving, very slow.
Bowtech: Very fast, fairly smooth, and somewhat forgiving, not very quite.
Hoyt: Extemely forgiving, fairly quite and fairly fast.

And like the others said, with hoyt, your draw length can be adjusted several inches. To me thats a huge advantage when I' m experimenting with various anchor points and release aids. Shoot ' em all and pick one thats fits you best.
