I just looked at both bows and the prices on the internet. On the Bear web sight the Wild is listed @ $399.00 and the PSE Driver R is listed at $499.00. In my opinion it would be foolish to just settle and buy the Wild than spend another hundred bucks and get what you want. Odds are you won't be happy with the just settling bow and wind up buying another bow in a year or so that will cost far more than that extra hundred bucks. Of course it is your money and you are certainly free to do what you want but I have always found it is better to get what you want and buy once.
