I do like the Z7 quite a bit. However, I don't feel that is vastly better than many of their others. I shoot an Outback and love it. Fits me well, feels right...like a match made in heaven! The sbxt is an outstanding bow as well. The only reason I got the Outback is that I found it for a good bit cheaper on ebay. After shooting several bows from multiple companies, these were two of my top three.
