Which one would you go home with. (silly?)
Back to the original question - how much speed increase would you need to replace your current bow? Not which would you pick off a pile of free bows, etc. It is assumed you'll be a pile of cash lighter after the transaction if you go with the new faster bow, I believe. And IF speed were the only difference (how that could be achieved is another question).
I doubt I'll ever buy a "new" bow again, so I'll buy the 3 fps slower bow someone is casting off for $120 when it comes up on some bid site and no one is interested in that old, slow dinosaur.
I like the old technology, not the cutting edge stuff.
