Default Need new bow, some advise please

I am looking to get a new bow this winter and have been told that the Hoyt Trykon may be the way to go.

My current bow is a Mathews Conquest II.

I like ataller bow(I am 6-6"), longer brace height, forgiving.

I have heard that Bowtech and Mathews Switchback are good bows too. Anybody shoot the Trykon?

Checkout the Bear line of bows, the 2007 models in most shops are going dirt cheap right now, and the 08bows look awesome. I have shot mathews and hoyt bows for years, switched this year to a Bear Element and it shoots just as good as any bow I have ever had. The truth is also agreat bow for the money.

I shot the trykon when they first came out and really didn't care for the draw cycle. Seem to have a really aggresive cam. But it did shoot really good, was dead in the hand and after you did get over the hump to full draw it was effortless to keep it there. Then for 2007 they came out with the vectrix. I shot all the bows i could, including bowtech and matthews, and ended up buying the vectrix. It shot pretty much the same as the trykon but had a nice smooth draw cycle that i thought the trykon lacked. Also seemed to be a lot quieter with the stealth shot string suppresser on it. Bowtech and Mathews are also great bows, The Hoyt just seemed to fit me better. Also check out Ross bows. Ross would be my second choice right now if i had to buy a new bow, Hoyt Katera would be my first. Haven't been able to try out a PSE X-Force yet, but I have heard a lot of good things about them also.
