If you look for speed Extreme VFT will be faster about 8 fps than LX. I shot both and compared both. I shoot for hunting Patriot SC because I am 29 draw lenght with this bow. Patriot shoots with the same speed as LX, but with 7 1/4 BH.

VFT with 28 draw at 70 lbs should give you about 280 fps when an arrow is 380 grain, when your string will be supplied with peep with rubber tube, 2 brass nocks and two catwhiskers. The string on VFT is much better quality compared to LX. It is made by Stone Mountain. The string' s qulity is close to Winners Choice.
I see VFT as a better hunting value if you look for speed and light weight.
Shoot both before you make decision.
Both are nice bows.
