Im a little confused.. I guess cause your talking about buying a new bow from the same year as the bow you currently own and shoot. I cant speak for the Reflex bows but id imagine if you say it shoots well then the other competitors from 2008 arent going to be a massive improvement. And you said all the new Technology, if you got a 2008 Bowtech or Mathews you still arent getting all that new Technology. I would try to shoot some brand new bows and decide whether its worth the money to switch.
