Congrats Jeff,I am waiting for the bow report.
I really like the smooth draw of the Elite as well but where you like the hard wall,that was where I was worried with it.I prefer the feel of the Hoyt wall much better,just as well because I could get a staff bow through my shop with the Hoyt and he doesn't carry Elite so it was a no brainer for me.
I agree with you on the binaries,atleast the ones I have pulled.I haven't tried the 09's.
