i have one got it about 2 weeks ago, i got it for the same reason ur thinkin about it. it felt real good in hand, and after i shot it, it was a set deal. i shot the rock and the marquis, but to me they felt very simular, the rock just fell more into my budget. i tell u its a smooth bow and has a solid backwall on the draw, which i absolutly love ...........i must of shot over 30 different bows before deciding on the rock.......if it feels good to u, i wouldn't hesitate on bringin it home
