Thanks Jeff and Muzzy.
No clue about differences between old and new, but I'll say the 2008 Allegiance and the 2009 SWAT they have at my shop are very similar in draw feel (SWAT is a bit smoother into letoff).
Wonder what a SWAT goes for? Guess I need to take some time and visit my Bowtech dealer and while at it call the two Elite dealers listed for my area. I'm just afraid I might walk out with a bow or ordering one[8D].
