Well I can say from my experience, not yours, that my buddies centerpoint 370 was noticeably louder than my used 10 point venom which I got real cheap.

As to warranty experience my buddy had some real issues with getting the safety fixed in a reasonable time period, took over a month.

So I am not so arrogant as to say someone else's experience is wrong, just different than mine.

5 years from now see how well the customer support and warranty service is for a centerpoint model sold today and get back to me. Then you can say I am wrong.
