If you plan on doing a lot of moose hunting, I would suggest the Exocet. I'm sure the Vixen will work, but often it's the extra confidence from the added KE. If I remember correctly I'm getting somewhere between 80-85ftlbs of KE with my current setup.
You don't have to get all the accessories right away. I started with the fiber-optic sights, rope cocking aid, wax and quiver. With these items you will be ready to go hunting. Save some money, as I had too, and get yourself the other gear next year. If it's in the back of your mind that you really want an Exocet, you'll kick yourself later.

I own all three Ohio Legal Bows and I hunt only with the vixen for Ohio deer. I remember seeing pictures of Bernard Horton with big big moose shot in the early 80's with his "safari magnum" crossbow-the first plastic based stock with a 125 pound 12" draw recurve.
still on big moose I would use the heavier bows
remember-a heavier bow is for heavier game-not for trying to shoot light deer and long ranges
