The Z7 makes much less noise than what you have today

IMO I'd keep what you have until you get more comfortable with the bow in general. You have a good bow that will do the job just fine with a well placed shot. It's all up to you and what your priorities are, but consider that the new bows will be out soon and leftovers will be a little cheaper.
Ah, so many things to think about.......Good luck and good shooting
Yes, the FX2 has been treating me well, but all I've been shooting at is my block target. With three shots there always seems to be a flyer and I will only get the expected shot I'm looking for 1 out of 3 arrows. And all this is only at 30-35 yards. Anything past that I wouldn't trust with this bow. This was obviously not tuned to my specifications except for the weight of pull. I was going to take it to an archery specialists to assist me, but thought I'd be better off investing in something that's more up to date.
I thought the FX2 was quiet, but then again, I only know so much about bows. I need something that is consistant.
