I would go with the one you are the most comfortable with, After all you would be the one using it, shoot both if possble and see what one you like the best, But personally I would go with the matthews, Just my opinion because I liked it best out of all the bows that I was interested in, I am still with a high country bow because at the time I didn't have the funds to change but when I do have them I will again test shoot the bows that feel the best for me, Probly not much help to ya but every body is different so to speak and prefers different options, test shoot them if possible as much as you can and chose the bow you think is best for you.
