Oops, forgot about the speed rating with the string things on. Still think they undersold themselves by doing that.
About stacking early-
I owned a 2002 mighty-mite and everyone who owned and then sold one (some on this sight) told me the harsher draw cycle of the MM was why they prefered the Patriot instead.
My shoulder was giving me fits, even when I reduced the draw weight to 62#. I couldn't shoot the bow 2 days in a row without shoulder pains so I had to sell it. I THOUGHT this was because it was stacking early. I don't really know what caused it for sure, but I can shoot my Pat all week long at 65#'s w/ no shoulder worries.
IF the stacking early was the culprit then the Allegience AND Switchback will have to stay on the shelf if I go bow shopping anytime soon. I'd hate to find out $650 dollars later that my shoulder can't handle it again

.
I don't even know if I could have drawn the Allegiance with a bad shoulder. I could feel my shoulders getting tired after just a couple shots.
