Double Creek, if you are choosing between the LX and the Outback, then you have an 'either or' situation. The outback has a 7 5/8" brace height & a 31.5 A-A while the LX is a 6 5/8" brace heigth and a 34 A-A. I think the differences cancel each other out and you have almost identically shooting bows. (yes, I have shot both) There is just not enough of a difference to make me want to trade in my LX for the Outback. They are both Excellent bows.
