There is a definitive difference in feel between the Cybertec I had and the Vipertec that I now own. For starters, the Vipertec definitely feels lighter overall though the mass weight distribution is stretched more to the " ends" of the bow because of the new longer riser/shorter limb design. Also because of this new design for Hoyt the bow has literally no recoil at all. In that regard there is a noticeable difference between it and the Razortec that I owned last year.
As for bow shopping....give it a few weeks and you can have mine...as I will be getting rid of the Vipertec to make room for the next 2004 bow that I " need" to have....
