Question WTB Carbon Element...Buy Now or Wait?

I am looking to buy a Hoyt Carbon Element as I really like that bow. However it is a pricey bow, so I am wondering if I should buy it new now, or wait a while for a potential price drop or buy used?

Thoughts?

I just bought the CRX. I see very little diference . The Bow is very nice though. I used the extra $350 I saved on a new Nikon scope for my Slug Gun!!

I just snagged up a 2010 Matrix with an AAE Pro Drop rest and brand new custom strings for $650 tmd, spotless. I say wait it out, the prices on used are exceptional and you really can not hurt these carbon bows.

Wow. Good advice. I wasn't sure if these carbon bows depreciated like other bows, but it looks like waiting it out is ideal!

You have to figure in that Hoyt release the CM+ with a roller guard so everyone had to have the latest and greatest. I have seen many Matrix over on AT for $800 or less. Buddy picked up another 2010 for $700 to his door just last week as well. Waiting may be the best or snag a 2010 CM and live it up.
