Huntingguy, keep an eye on the new Trading Post section of the forum. You will probably find a good Excal on there before too long. Good place to find a used bow.

Is It Worth It?
You could split the difference and get the Phoenix. 
The Phoenix is my choice of the present lineup Excalibur offers. The (almost) ease of cocking of the Vixen and a little added punch. For target shooting the lighter models will be a little easier to shoot, and they still have plenty of power for hunting most (if not all) north american game. The heavier models can of course be used for targets, but they are harder to cock repeatedly, and I believe both the Exocet 200 & the Exomax are above allowable limits for IBO 3-D shoots. (I think it's a 190# / 300fps limit ???)
