What I would like to see is an independent test done with every major bow using a controlled environment with the best machines available. Say, use a hooter shooter to rate consistancy with each bow, factor in creeping with each bow, etc. Throw in some high tech vibration measuring gizmo's and also some measurement of sound producted with electronics. Then rate bows in terms of quality of materials used, construction, tolerances, etc.

There used to be blind fold tests done, but I"m not so sure those were unbiased.

But yeah, all in all, it really comes down to personal preference.
