Both the Cheetah and the Bengal are good deals at that price, especially if new. However, someone is yanking your chain about the MSRP. The BengalMSRP is$449 and the Cheetah was $399. MAP or most often OTC (over the counter) price is $399 and $329 respectively.

Still, considering that they are both in the 2009 lineup you won't find much better of a deal. I would recomend shooting both to see if anything stands out to you between them. You'll be very hard pressed to find a smoother cam either. And you'll end up with new bow warranty and unsurpassed customer service.
