The xt is shorter axle to axle, and a little more forgiving. It also has three dampeners in the cable guide as opposed to I believe two in the original switchback. Couldn't proove if that makes a difference or not. The original switchback is supposed to be a few of feet per second faster. I have shot both and they are excellent bows.

Hey guys Im new here. I shot the Switchback and it is real smooth and accurate, but for the money I cant justify giving up my LX to move up. I think anything Mathews makes is going to be a good bow, I first bought a Q2XL then an SQ2 and now an LX. I will probably wait another year or two and get whatever is "new and improved" then, I dont know how much better bows can get though unless they start field dressing the deer for you.
