Had an Equinox...for a short time. Fast but too hard to cock for my abused then 68 yr old body, preventing me from shooting as much as I like. Traded back for a Vortex, much easier to cock. Also got a Phoenix, easier still. Then I got a fast compound ... for the speed. Not nearly as much fun to shoot and casued me a nasty flinch when it blew up. I still have it but invariably pick up on of the recurves for shooting. Looks like to me that you're focusing on "magnum" bows. Faster isn't necessarily better when it comes to CB. Speed comes with a variety of side issues like bow weight, difficulty keeping arrows from going through the target - much less pulling them out - and equipment wear. When something fails at heavy draw it's usually a tragedy where gear is concerned.
The topic of compound vs recurve has been covered many times on this forum and elsewhere, which a search will avail to you. Suggest you do that and then ask bow specific questions.
