The price tag scared me off from shooting one, but they look great. I recently saw this unboxing video for the Keep Hammering ™ special edition, that’s the one I would go with.
New Bow or Not?

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.

Both bows are greats options. What specifically do you want to know about them?
Is the extra length of the 33 worth it in terms of added stability over the 30? I tend to fixate on saving every ounce I can. Are the PSE's more stable/shootable or easier/more difficult to tune than say a Mathews Lift or a Hoyt AlphaX (at same length)? Looking for that "last, best" bow that will carry me through 10 yrs of hunting.
You can probably flip a coin on the stability/shootability. Buddy of mine that owns a shop and can shoot what he wants is shooting the pse carbon 33
The newer Hoyt’s with the 1/4 inch draw length adjustment is a great feature, LiftX with limb shift might have the best broadhead tuning at home of those
I’ve found that some bows just feel the best to an individual person. I’ve went to a shop with full intentions of buying one thing and leaving with something different after trying multiple set ups

I am a 31" DL so I'm not as comfortable with the 30 as the 33 simply due to geometry. After saying that, I am very capable of shooting the bow well enough that I am okay with taking any shot I would with the 33. The compactness of the 30 really is nice when carrying it while hunting. In my opinion if 3" makes for such a more stable bow then 3" of length makes for a much better item to be hoofing around which is important to me. If I was 29" or less I would shoot the 30 over the 33 without hesitation.
