I did not look at other brands, I was happy with my last Mathews and I like the customer service I get at Archery headquarters. Lots of good bows out there just like boats and motors or Chev vs Ford it comes down to personal preference. My Reezen I shot for 3 seasons that is the shortest amount of time that I have used a bow. I bought my first bow in 1986 it was an all wood bow a Martin Warthog, I shot that for quite a few years I still have that bow. My second bow was a Golden Eagle Predator and I shot that bow for a long time also, until I got my Reezen 3 seasons ago. I still have the Golden Eagle as well, right now it is on loan to a friend but it will be coming home soon as he bought a new bow this year also, might have to use that one for bow fishing. My brother in-law gave me an old Bear bow that I have never shot that one might make a good bow fishing bow as well. 
I spent the most money on the ZXT that I have ever spent on a bow but it was $200 less then the new Creed XS, I will be keeping the ZXT for a long time, it very well may be my last bow. All of my bows I bought at Archery Headquarters I would not think of doing business anywhere else for my archery equipment.
I hear ya on the dealer. Probably means more than the bow. Where I buy my bow is the same ideals behind where I buy my Skeeter.
There are two dealers up here. One is a Hoyt dealer and a hardcore brand follower. If it isn’t a Hoyt, he doesn’t want to hear what you have to say or doesn’t like the shade of green of your cash. I wouldn’t give him a dime.
The other is an Elite, BowTech, Diamond dealer. 4 Rivers 3D Archery ( http://www.4rivers3darchery.com/ ) Great guy. Will help out anybody regardless of what they shoot. Dad ordered and rigged an Elite Energy 32 from him ($1600+). After this league season I will probably be ordering an Elite Energy 35 from him as I didn’t like the Mathews, Hoyt, BowTech and Diamonds I shot. When I compared them to how smooth the Energy 35 was on the draw cycle and release. Wow. I will probably spend a grand total of $1700+ at this guys place. He is currently helping me outfit my Browning Ambush XB with custom string/cables, rest, release, sight and stabilizers for 3D and league.
That Hoyt dealer is an idiot. I didn’t know anything about bows and all he had to do was invite me in and welcome me to his shop. We probably would be spending $3300+ at his shop instead of 4 Rivers 3D Archery.
