New Bow or Not?

Has anybody tried the new Hoyt bows - the RX-9 Ultra? My old Defiant is nice, but I'm in the potential frame of mind for that to become a backup bow this fall.
I've shot it. Nice bow. It's amazing how compact you can get your rest, sight, and quiver with pic rails, low profile quivers, etc. I like Hoyt's grip the best...not super thin. The only thing that I don't like is the weight for a carbon bow. Hoyt get's criticized for that quite often. I own a RX5 Ultra and a Twin Turbo and with the stock stubby stabilizer that is included, which is enough to tame any vibration that you may feel so no need to add another stabilizer unless you want the bow to balance differently in your hand. This bow you can set in 1/4" draw length increments so you can really dial in your anchor point which is a great feature IMO.

You’re right, I see that comment a lot too- but to me it doesn’t make a ton of sense when you see guys attach a bunch of dongles to their bow (weight) to stabilize.

I haven’t shot the RX9 but I am seriously thinking about pulling the trigger this summer. Very biased Hoyt fan, and this sounds so dumb, but their risers create a handle for carrying that would be really hard to not have.
