If my memory serves me correctly, the two (Hoyt and Reflex)are made by the same manufacturer. You could look at it like cars. Toyota obviously makes Toyota cars, however, the also make Lexus. Think about that. One other thing, how many big name tournament shooters do you hear of that shoot Reflex bows? But, if you' re looking for a good bow at a good price, the Reflex should be fine. The biggest thing is that it has to feel right to you.
