Take a look at the New Bowtech Destroyer and perhaps the Z7 by Mathews (Solocam). I wasn't crazy about the tough draw cycle on the Reezen or the fat Mathews grip. The Z7 has a thinner grip and the Bowtech Destroyer has a smaller grip. All seem to be good quick bows, you will have to see how each model feels in your hand and shoots. I havn't tried the Monster.

If it was me i would go and shoot a bunch of different bows and see what you think of each and then make your choice based on which bow you felt shot the best and felt the best in your hands,most any bow from a top company will perform well.Good luck!
