Okay....my opinion differs from both Robs and Arthurs. However I have owned both. Without a doubt the CyberTec out performs in every category, but if i had to say which bow is the best for the buck it would be the MagnaTec. IMO the MagnaTec is the best bow for the buck. The ZR200 limbs I dont like. I favor the thinner grip of the CyberTec, but that will differ for everyone. Vibration..CyberTec wins, but actually not by a long shot. Even though the CyberTec is lighter it still has less recoil due to a little different riser and limb angle geometry. Here is the part that i havent figured out. The CyberTec's brace height is supposibly 6 1/2. Ive looked at 4 different cybertecs. All measure above. Mine actually only likes maybe a milimeter of being 7". This is actually a semi short brace, however i find it more forgiving than the magnatec. I also owned a Mathews FX with a 7 1/2" brace and find the CyberTec more forgiving than it. It comes down to what you need. If you want a top of the line bow that shoots as good as any out there. Go with the CyberTec. If you want a mid range bow that shoots as good as any out there go with the MagnaTec. Either bow is perfectly suitable for hunting or 3D competition. But when i refer the MagnaTec im talkin about versa cam with XT200 limbs. I simply do not like the ZR200's. IMO the XT2000's are the best split limb on the market if not best all around. The MagnaTec with XT2000s is almost in the same class as the CyberTec. MagnaTec with ZR200s imo not even close. Yes...the limbs can cause that much of a difference. You wont regret buying either bow, but if u plan on keepin either of these bows for a long time go with the XT2000s.
