I would really like to get the new Scorpyd Ventilator but it's almost twice as much as my second choice which is the SZ380. It's to the point that I can't sleep at night......:)

i have the scorpyd 165 & telson 130,,, have on order sz350 will be here in a week,,, cant go wrong either way if you plan on walking alot then go with the sz380 and then you will have plenty of cash left over for the wifey so it justifies your spending,,,, just a thought,,,

I don't shoot either but I am hearing better things about the SZ350 than the SZ380. It seems to be pretty problem free unlike the SZ380. Costs a little less also.

What kind of problems are you hearing with the SZ380? I've heard about the limb problems. Is there something else? Accuracy?

I wouldn't be afraid of the SZ380. From what I understand they have completely fixed their issues. However IMHO the 350 is the better option (between SZ models). It's 135 lbs draw weight VS 165 lbs, and is only 30fps slower. Easier to cock and less vibration/noise. And less money.

Sz380 is quieter than my compound bow and compared to vortex, there is no vibration or whatsoever :)...I almost purchased Telson 130, but for that money I got new SZ380 and Vortex (used/demo), almost new. SZ is small compact, fast and quiet, trigger,...I am impressed. And yes, I would still like to try Scorpyd :)
