"With the top crossbow manufactures, I would not hisitate to look at used."
While I agree, you should know that the warranty generally does not transfer to the second owner.
Excal is one exception to that.
I worry more about the abuse of the previous owner than the manufacter. It's hard to tell if there are mirco cracks that are there from abuse or poor care of the crossbow.
