Default New string, where and what kind?

My mathews Q2 bow is 7-8 years old and has the original strings/cables. I had the local mathews retailer inspect it last year and he said they were fine, don't replace (i only shoot just before and during the season, not year round). However, I've been told by several friends and the local bass pro shop that this is bad advice, the strings are way past their useful life even though they look good. Where should I purchase and what brand do you recommend. I was told the strings may cost appx $110 and another $15 to install plus another $15 to retune the bow.

I guess strings are another thing to consider as I think about buying a used mathews switchback. The strings could easily be 4-5 years old so whatever the purchase price is, I'll need to think about spending another $140 for strings, right?
