05 and 06 bowtech draw cycles

Good morning
How do the draw cycles compare on between the 2 years? I shot an 05 allegiance and liked it, would have purchased it but someone beat me to it and was the last one the shop had in my dl. Have not had a chance to shoot the 06 with the speed mods. Can anyone offer a comparison? A friend had both the 05 and 06 old glory and said he liked the 06 much better. Wondering if there is a big differance with the shorter ATA bows as well
Thanks
Mike

I have an 05 Allegiance and have shot the 06 Allegiance, Old Glory, and Tribute with the speed mods.... Personally I didn't notice a big difference....

Guess that would be me, so you know my opinion of the issue. Though I would like to say that the 05 OG feels the same as the 06 OG with speed mods I do not think it is the case. Keep in mind that I was/am comparing a 70 pound 05 model backed down to 60 as opposed to a 60 pound 06 OG at peak weight. The 06 OG at 60 pounds feel different than last year's. The draw cycle feels like it requires less effort though I would not call it "smooth" necessarily.
