RE: HOYT XTEC
Like others have said...I love mine. Very quiet, smooth, balance is right there, and fairly forgiving. I think it's fairly light weight for a 35ish axle to axle bow also. Can't go wrong in my eyes.
Things you may want to consider is...Hoyt's skinny handle and it virtually has no valley to it(about exactly the same as the Outback). I'm not quite sure if the valley is adjustable, but just thought I'd mention it. For me I like both of those things so no biggy. Good luck with your decision.
