i think wheelie is a blend of me and shucks. kind of a "awestucks"
If your not in a big hurry,,why don't you wait till after all the 2014 new bows have been out. I am betting you can pick up a 225 at about half price of the price of the bow now...as everybody will want a smaller lighter maybe even faster crossbow than the older models. I am perfectly happy with my Exomax for stalking in brushy hill country, and stand hunting and have taken 5 deer with it in the last couple of years. I know how you feel on decisions, but for me, all good things comes to those that wait.
Exomax w/S 5
Varizone

Just as cevans wrote, wait til someone wants to let go a 225 in good shape. I believe I can get a new bare nox' for $640, so maybe there's one out there a little cheaper...this way I keep my munch & strings.
Does the Nox' come with the S5 & D-bars from factory?
"Does the Nox' come with the S5 & D-bars from factory?"...yes it does.
I bought my 2011 Equinox for its flatter trajectory to shoot 3D year round. I am 5"10" and will be 60 in January. No problems, no regrets. When I am not at a tournaments I am on the range practicing. I do go through servings but that is after many many tournaments and practice sessions. Its no big deal to reserve and I am also rotating the same 4 strings for years now (all stretched ready to go).
I was thinking of a matrix, and had a long talk to Don/Boo about this, but decided not to because of the stiffer (higher poundage) and shorter limbs causing more stress on the serving when cocked.
Yeah, keeping my strings and scope is important, hard to beat that Nikon glass...
Guess if anyone wants to play musical excals in the off season, let me know if your let'n go a nox' for a matrix...
