We got that bow for Dylan on a popular internet auction site (that for some reason shows up as a bunch of asterisks when I attempt to type it) for Christmas last year. I think I got a decent deal on it (but who ever thinks they didn't get a good deal - heh) but you can pick up some of the older Bears like that out there for not too many dollars.
They don't look as cool as the longbows, and I have a feeling they are a bit less forgiving (especially when you have orangutan arms like my son and I do), but there is something to say for the light weight and the small frame - especially in the thick stuff like we saw this past weekend.
I like my DH tons, but I'm constantly flirting w/ the idea of moving up to a longbow.
