The best thing to do would be to shoot all 3 side by side and then decide. For me the lack of a valley in the Icon made it hard to shoot. The Legacy shot like a longer bow due partly to the longer riser and was my pick-until I shot the LX. Faster, just as smooth and maybe a touch of recoil, but easily handled with a good stabilizer. Now that' s just for me and you may feel totally different so try them all.
