Atlasman.........if you get a chance you should look at an Outback just for grins ! IMO it has less vibration than a SB , different DFC but equally as smooth , better backwall due to the draw stop, and nearly the same speed (within 5fps set up for hunting) ! The OB has a very short valley......but I have grown to like it.......especially with the 80% cam !
Biggest difference I saw.........was the SB is quieter ! But I never saw a deer react to my shots this year and killed a nice buck last week that I got two shots on..........so it can't be making very much noise !
I would love to shoot an Outback to see what it's like........seems that most people are comparing it favorably to the Switchback which I thought was a just plain awesome bow.
The Switchback had everything except blazing speed IMO..........I have no doubts it is fast enough to kill anything I would ever point it at though.
Mathews gets a big tip of the cap from me on the Switchback. I have shot more then a few Mathews bows and never really saw what all the fuss was about.......in fact with the crappy grips (to me) I even disliked most of them. Not the case with the Switchback at all. They did a great job on that bow.
If I was starting from scratch and didn't already own a bow........the Switchback would be VERY high on my list of finalists I'm sure.
