I held out for as long as I could but as soon as I put my hands on the bow, I felt like it "was the one." It was especially the one after putting a few arrows through it. Best shooting bow I've shot, and I've shot Bowtech and PSE and Mathews. Can't say enought about the Creed. But as someone else already mentioned, different strokes for different folks. It all boils down to what you're comfortable with and what works best for you.
