I have two older models Excaliburs (Ibex and Vortex) with the wide limbs. To be honest, I prefer the wider limbs, as while hunting they are wide enough that I can set the bow cocked and it sets perfectly horizontal on the shooting rail of my treestand, leaving me hands free. When getting ready to shoot, it is minimal movement to swing the bow to my shoulder and be dead steady on the rail. I cover the rails with old hose sliced and then taped over the metal rail. Super quiet.
I find the old wide limbs easier to cock than the newer micro models too. And they're a bargain when you find one used as opposed to new.
