Guess it depends on your local shop and how much cash you want to dish out. I did the search a couple of months ago myself. Two different proshops(both that sold Mathews) stated the Martin was much quieter. I could not afford a Mathews. I really liked the way a Parker fit my hand, but it was nearly $200 more (bare) than a fully rigged Martin. My buddy also opted for the Martin. Any of the three will serve you well.
