I am not a big fan of the Varizone but for a 3D scope it is great. The Vortex is an awesome killing machine. I am not being sarcastic but I really do not see the comparison between the Vortex and the 6 Points. I am sure they both have the same practical accuracy and manufacturers support. The warranty is a bit better with Excalibur. Bit the real kicker is that the Vortex is 30 ft/sec faster. A better comparison would be the Phoenix and the Curve. If you were talking about the Flex, I see it as a good bow but not as hard core killing machine like the Phoenix or Vortex. It's a nice little bow but not on the same playing field. But the bottom line is which one feels better. Check out the Phoenix or the Ibex as well, both are rated at 305 with a 350 gr arrow like the recurves that Ten Point rates theirs with. Either way if you end up with the Curve, Vortex, Phoenix or Ibex you won't go wrong. BTW, I currently own a Flex, Vortex and Ibex. I sold my Phoenix but will get another some day.
