IMO I dont really think there is that much of a difference on the lower line bows. You just have to wait a year or so until they make the bow for the second line. I really think that most of it is pretty much the same bow with maybe a different cam and a different stamp on the bow. I would shoot the bows and compare them. If you dont mind a big difference and can live having a reflex instead of a hoyt, I would go with the reflex and accessorize the bow to no end. The biggest thing is just shooting the bow and deciding which one feels the best.
