Never have ow Ed a Mathews so no help there. But I have a mission ballistic and to me it can't be beat for the money. I'm using 70# @27" and Easton fmj. It slings the arrows pretty good. It's as accurate as me and my hha. Pretty quiet, not the best let off, but it's a dual cam and it does t bother me too bad. Pretty smooth draw. I'm pleased with it.
