Which one would you choose......?

I would check out the one that is local to you and avoid buying from the auction site. Have you checked the classifieds here? I'm pretty new here too, but I can tell you buying from other members has been a pleasure and I am more than satisfied with my purchases. The people on the auction site are in it for money, tradgang members are in it for the sport. Better to buy from an enthusiast in my opinion.

I shot a Herters for 18 yrs.  A 65# Perfection Stika 66".  I still have it and shoot it a couple times a year, just for "Old Times".  I shot a lot of animials with it.  It is pretty slow by today's bow though.  
A work of advise - don't buy a bow you plan to use from looking at photos.  You really need to string the bow to find out if the limbs are straight.  After all these years since I bought my Herters ( 35 yrs ago) they are just starting to get a little twist in the limbs.  They were good bows and it took a tree to make one.  They really had big risers.  I shot it off an elevated rest because the shelf was so flat.  Even today I shoot off an elevated rest.  Seem to get better arrow flight.
