Try shooting a Prime. Lots of us have made the switch--yes, also had Hoyt and Mathews. I do agree on the resale of the Mathews.
A friend owns an archery shop and was going to give me the same price on a Prime or Halon (higher price). I shot both side-by-side and got the Prime. Prime also gives you free string replacements--ask your shop about it. Shoot all of them and decide what you like best. Lots of good bows on the market today, so it's hard to make a bad choice.
