Drew, I bought a Darton Maverick with recurve limbs in '98. Thumbing through all of those Matthews ads each time I pick up a hunting magazine can really work on one's mind and get one thinking they need to have a new bow. I have a buddy who just purchased a Matthews Q2 somewhat regretably after a lot of pressure from the archery shop salesman who is a Matthews fanatic. Not that Matthews is lesser quality or performance, but my buddy still thinks my Maverick draws smoother and is actually quieter than his new Matthews. I did slap on Sims Limb Savers with excellent results. Good luck.
