I haven't shot either, but from what I have read, it would be hard to go wrong with either of the bows you mentioned. I agree with JR, though, you need to get one in your hands first. If you are making the jump from compound to recurve, make sure you don't overbow to start with. Buying a good, low poundage, used bow would be my recommended course of action. Shoot it until you are comfortable with the differences between compound and recurve, then work up on weight until you are where you want to be. In the meantime, shoot as many recurves as you can until you find the one that fits you.
Jumping in with both feet is fine, diving in head first can be dangerous...and expensive. There is no joy in being overbowed and shooting poorly as a result. It can lead you to abandon traditional archery, which is not what we want to see. If you've been hanging around here long, you have probably seen this advice offered time and again to beginners.
Check the classified section for a used bow of 45-50 pounds (45 would be better). If you have been shooting high poundage compounds, remember you were probably only holding a fraction of that 45 pounds at full draw. With a recurve you will be holding all of it. An 80 pound bow with 80 percent letoff means you are holding 16 pounds at full draw.
Welcome to the gang. Lots to learn here. Just pull up a seat.
BTW: My daughter-in-law comes from over your way. She's an IKM grad and her dad teaches at Harlan. Small world!
