Doesn't reflex use the same eccentrics as the Hoyt he didn't like?

I would encourage you to strongly consider buying one of the newer high end models you like, only used.

I paid $300 for my Diamond Hornet when it was 1 year old, it shoots just as good as if I'd paid $550. A few bows will hold their value, but for most it's like golf clubs and cars- the bottom falls out as soon as next years models are introduced. With the rash (since this is the word for the day, apparently) of folks who must have the latest and greatest (no offense to many here ), slightly used is a buyers market. I came close to selling my hornet for $250 but talked myself out of it

Check out the classifeds forum on www.archerytalk.com and search for some of the bows you are interested in. Also ask about used at the shops you visited. The shop may not sell used, but know of those looking to sell so they can buy new.

You may be pleasantly suprised.
