I too shot Mathews bows and switched to a Carbon spyder Turbo this year and absolutely love it. Lightweight, accurate as hell, and vibration free.

I shoot Hoyt but would like to try the bowtech experience possibly in carbon.

I shoot a Mathews Z7 and can't justify dropping money on a new bow considering there is not much that has changed since 2010.  I think buying a year or two old bow can be beneficial when it comes to saving a little money.

I shot all the bows you have listed and id put the bowtech insanity, experiance as smoother. The insanity does get agressive at its longest draw length but with a good tune the wall is a lot more solid the listed bows and the valley can be short or longer. 

Id throw elite in the bunch along with prime they both have great bows out :tup:

Next bow is the Elite Energy 35... Solid back wall, forgiving, fast, 31" draw, less expensive.

Nobody makes a crappy bow.
Playing "bow go round" over the years has lead me to realize that as long as I nerd out on my setup and tuning, my groups on the target never change. So I went back to shooting for speed and energy. Its not for everyone,  and its not on your list, sorry.

The carbon Spyder is a little smother than the faktor IMO.  That chill R is a pretty sweet bow for a Mathews.  Some bows you left off the list would be the new primes by G5.  Pretty sweet bow I almost got one and I'm a very set in my hoyt ways.  As far as bowtech not being on the list you made the right choice there. :tup:

I wanted the Creed but after shooting multiple times on over a period of time I realized the draw wasn't as smooth as the Chill. Not sure the Creed is selling like they thought. Hoyt spider was also a nice shooting bow

Not to worried about speed. Right now I shoot a DXT IBO 320. What im looking at is a longer axel to axel. I don't want to go any shorter than 32 inches. A slow bow will kill an elk just as good as a fast one if the arrow is placed right. And the faster the bow the less forgiving. Im heading to check out the Hoyts tonight and hopefully shoot a few.

Make sure to check out Elite.  Evergreen archery on meridian sells them. Ever since I bought my answer my hoyt vector turbo has pretty much lived in its case. Easiest drawing most comfortable bow I've ever shot, extremely accurate, quiet, and the best fit, finish and quality on the market IMO. They also come with winners choice strings. :tup:
