Default Hoyt RX3 vs Helix

Iv priced out both, and the RX3 is $600 more than the Helix. From what I see the RX3 is 0.4lb lighter, and has just slightly less vibration. Is their any other difference that warrants $600 price hike?

That's interesting. Can you notice the Helix extra weight?

The Helix is a very nice bow, 100% on par with any other manufacturers flag ship offerings. It draws nicely, holds fantastic and is quiet and has very little hand shock and vibration. I was torn between an RX3 and a Helix as well, but when I got a chance to shoot the RX3 Turbo, my mind was made up. I bought the Turbo, but I would not hesitate for a second to get a Helix!
