I forgot you had big feelings too...
Mine are small feelings, so people can say what they want about me.

Dren LD for sure, i shoot the drenaline alot considering that is my dad's bow of choice... i don't have a big enough pocket...it might not be the fastest, but its smooth, quiet, and its relliable. but the Bowtech 101st is also a great bow. fast too.

Then you don't want a Bowtech. Everything in bold is the reason to go the Mathews route. The portion in italics is the reson to go with the commander.
Good luck.
You just described why you should keep the bow you have
I'm more interested in a smooth draw, very low hand shock, and quiet. I'm not going to be taking shots at deer at 45-50 yards. A smooth draw is very important. I really don't like bows with a hard "wall" at the end of their draw cycle.
Good luck.

Don't worry, most on here giving advise haven't shot them all either.
I didn't buy one for myself was because I knew the pain that shooting a bow caused me would soon override my desire, the point I reached just a few months after I'd shot the bow. If I'd thought I had another 5 years to go, I'd be shooting a Commander - with an extra long string loop - right now.

I've been getting along fine with my Switchback but it is toooo short in DL for me. I got it for a good price about 2 years ago. I can feel the torque in my hand when I'm practicing because I'm over-extending myself and the bow. I know my form is suffering from the short DL too.

All 4 bows listed are good shooters. You really can't go wrong with any of them. I think the big thing for you (since you know you are currently torquing the Switchback) is to find which bow holds the best at full draw. That's not something any of us can tell you.
