I think it is a good deal, I think that bow sells for $700+. I bought an 07' off of Ben here for more than that but it had some accessories. You know that the commander is a longer ATA bow as well, I think 36"??? Real close to that anyway,I would definately give it a try, it is the sweetest bow I have ever shot. However the guardian is just as smooth, just a little shorter ATA...Go shoot it, it is worth the money, if it is in good shape....Look it over real good, I also bought new strings and cables from MeanV here on HNI for $55 (vapor trails), keep that in mind when looking the string over....

Edit: I just caught the fact that you said it was brand new......Yeah, I would definately say it is worth it.....

Commander stats: 29.5" @ 65lbs Shoot a 380 gr GT Xt @ 296-298fps=70+ ft lbs KE
