Bow suggestion for taller guy?

6’4” 225 with 31” draw. Elite Impulse 34 is the best bow I’ve ever shot. Fits met great and will sling my 465 grain arrow 319fps.
 
Long story short, I'm looking for a different bow.

Does anybody have a suggestion for a decent bow somebody that stands 6'2"? Looking for a 70-lb draw weight, draw length up to 31", and at least 34" ATA. Would like to keep it under $500 for a bare bow- I have spare a sight and rest from previous upgrades. definitely in the market for a used boat, in this price range.

Wanting to build some 550+ grain arrows for this, as well, with broadheads that I can sharpen, hone, and strop myself (thinking single bevels).
I’m 6’5 and have a 31.5 in draw I went with a bear species long draw and got the ready to hunt package for 400 out the door I love it I had previously shot a Mathews for years but the draw was quite long enough this bow really fits for me and is comfortable

Now I'm debating whether I should get a bargain bow that fits and just be done with it, or if I should try to get some "flagship" that's lightly used.

If I got the ready to hunt package, I could swap my sight and rest from my current bow and get tuned within the day, probably. Hardest part would be getting the right arrows- need something to get a fixed blade past my index finger, so it's gonna need to be a bit longer (not sure how much, though)- and that's gonna take a bit this time of year.

I went to a dealer that carried multiple brands of bows and shot a couple originally I had went in planning on buying a pse Carbon fiber long draw but personally I liked this beat better and it was a 3rd of the price if you can find somewhere like that near you, you would be able to try multiple bows out and see what you like best

The local dealer / pro shop only has one or two bows that go over 30". It's weird to me, because I'm on the smaller side of people from my hometown in the Midwest.
 
I'm 6'2" and shoot an Elite Impulse 34 at 70lb, though I think my draw length is 29.5 or 30. Probably can find one in that price range. I think I paid about that for one new, but on sale.

Found a used Impulse 34 on AT, but it's set at 31" DL. How hard is it to acquire the draw modules and swap them? And have you had any of the "tuning" issues? Saw some guys were swapping limbs to get away from a way-off-center tuning.
