RE: Which would you choose?
That's why we're individuals and if one doesn't take the time to shoot both they are doing themselves and themselves alone a discredit.
I did find the Switchback smoother to draw, but not smoother to shoot..they were equal in that respect for me..noise was less in the Switchback but it was marginal and may be do to the aggressive cams of the Trykon which made it much faster, thus noise perhaps....feel is an individual thing and I like the smaller handle of the Trykon. Vibration, equal...again, I'd be happy with either...

Ok you guys talked me into it. I'll shoot all three then decide. I don't really need a new bow, because my scorpion is real quiet too and only 5 months old. Guess I just got the itch.

Trykon. You are just paying for too much advertisement w/ a Matthews, IMO.

I shot the Mathews Switchback XTthis evening and it's gonna be hard to beat, but I will try the other 2 first before coming to a conclusion. Actually the Bowtech Tribute and the Hoyt Trykon are 699.00 and the Mathews is 649.95 in my neck of the woods.

This statement makes no sense to me, the bows are nearly identical in price. Just say you are a mathews hater.

RE: Which would you choose?
The "Big 3" bows are all very close in speed. To point out the XT was a few fps slower (although true) is almost worthless in reality. We're talking about thousandths (.00x)of a second at 30 yards. Speed is hyped.
I didn't mind the Trykon in my personal test of the 3. I found it a tick louder than the XT, but not as loud as the Bowtech and none were smoother than the XT in draw or post release. These were my personal findings.
