C.) BowTech 
Honestly, I can't remember if the Xtec was one of the Hoyts that I've shot, but I haven't liked the draw cycle on any of them, so I'd go with the Switchback. Shot one of them a few times and I like it almost as much as my BowTech.
I'm sure if you're having a tough time deciding that you can't really go wrong either way, though. Good luck to you.

Go for the Mathews. I have an LX and love it. It you can test shoot it first. But bring an extra pair of pants with you cause you'll mess yourself... It's that good.

RE: If you had to pick which one?
I've been shooting an LX for two years,great bow.After shooting the new Bowtech OG, Allegiance,Mathews Switchback,and the Hoyt Vtech,I when with the Vtech.All the bows mention are very good bows,and I really don't have anything bad to say about them.
But,when you start looking VERY hard at the bows,(machining,fit,finish),and their shootability(reflex vs. deflex),this is why I went with the Hoyt.
Also,look into the customer service,because there are some bows out there where the bowowners have to be in constant contact with the service dept. for their repair and or replacement of bows and bow parts.That might just be a clue,also.Good Luck...Bob

they are all top of the line quality bows don't buy one because someone tells you to buy it. Buy one beacuse it fits you and you like the way it feels and shoots.

I have an Xtec and really like it but I shot a Switchback last week and am in love with it. It's very smooth and quiet, but I'm still partial to Hoyt's and my Xtec.
