Default Whisker Buscuit vs. Fall away rest

Is the Whisker Biscuit a problem as far as reduced arrow speed and spin to the point were one should definitely go with a fall away rest instead?
I shoot a PSE Nova thats about 4 years old the bow is still in mint condition I arrowed my first dow with it this year and am stiving to prevent my arrows from falling off during the draw and improved accuracy.

I have owned 2 WB's and I hated both of them. I now use a ripcord drop-away and I love it. I feel like a drop-away is the only way to go.

In "MY" opinion, NO.

My fall away rest (as do MOST, nowadays) is a full containment rest. You no longer have to worry about an arrow falling off the rest during the draw with today's fall-aways.

I've never owned a WB, but several friends had them. Their fletching was always a problem.

I love my NAP QT2000 dropaway. I don't have a problem with an arrow falling off the rest during drawing the bow, so containment isn't an issue.

Never a problem with my WB. Your nova sounds like a perfect bow for one.

I've used the WB for 2 years now and I like the way it keeps the arrow in place, but I've noticed my bow is not as forgiving and there is a slight (very slight) decrease in arrow speed.

I like the new look of the drop away with the containment, but afraid it may be an extra moving part that could mess up in the field.

I shoot whisker biscuit now, but i'm getting a fall away next season. To many tore up fletchings and I want to get more speed out of my arrows.

Never had a whisker biscuit, but I got a new bow this year and only looked at full containment fall aways. Fell in love with the QAD Ultra Rest Pro LD. Bought it, and have not regretted it for a second.
