RE: Matthews or Bowtech
Shoot both and decide for yourself.
I shoot an 82nd and I have owned an Allegiance and a Hoyt. I always shoot everything before buying but my last two bows have been Bowtech's because I love their accuracy, performance and customer service.

RE: Matthews or Bowtech
As others have said shoot what feels best to you. On the 82nd issue, check out the Allegiance. Slightly slower than the 82nd, still much faster than the DXT, but it also has a bit smoother draw, it's lighter, it's quieter and it has an extra 1.25" of brace height so it's much more forgiving!

I know this is a bit of a divergence but... I would suggest a Martin Cheetah. you can get out the door for about $350, its got a 320fps rating, compact axle length, pretty damn quiet and has a better rescale value for the money.

RE: Matthews or Bowtech
in the age of bows today, there isnt a superior bow in the light of mathews,hoyt,bowtech,pse,etc.... any quality bow, is going to be good. find out what you want/need in a bow and then decide. we can tell you all about how the bows perform and what they are good at, but we cant decide which one will be best for you. that is impossible. use your resources here, decide what you want/need, and go out and shoot the ones that fall into that catagory.
i will say however, if you want a bow that is very well rounded as far as performance and specs, check oout the guardian by bowtech. it is an excellent bow, that is smooth, quick, and forgiving all in a package around 34"ata.

I don't own a DXT but I sure want one. The Bowtechs are also very nice bows. Top two manufacturers in my opinion. I'm waiting to see what Mathews unveils in November before I decide what to buy. If they can make something better than the DXT then I will certainly own it.
