Another number I have found to be true that makes no **** sense to me at all but it's there. When you drop down to 60 pounds you will loose another 2-4fps depending on model. I found that to be true when comparing IBO on a 70 pound limb dropped to 60. Or a 60 max limb. Drop 4-6 for a 50 pound limb.

Now this is good stuff to know. I guess I've never even thought about shooting less than 70 pounds with the high let offs we have. it's not like we are holding but maybe a pound difference, but I've never actually done the math on it

RPM- faster, more stable, more "tunable", lot of technology
Carbon Knight draws smooth too, much simpler cam system k.I.s.s., priced right.
In most hunting shot ranges the carbon knight will do everything the rpm will....probably will at any distance. Up to shooter to decided if a few extra feet are worth that much more money.... tough call.
Carbon overdrive.........non contender, I was not impressed

IBO speeds are just a way to compare apples to apples most of the time. Some cams/limbs will be ever ever slightly more efficient at shorter draws or lower poundages than another, but not anything in the real world you'd really care about I think.
I've been shooting 60# for about ten years, but when I finally retired the SB XT a few weeks ago I got my Chill R in 70#. Its 71# on the scale, and the KE and speed are noticeably difference. The SB XT was rated at 315, the Chill R at 342. Now with a 28" draw and hunting arrows those numbers change a lot... somewhere in the neighborhoods of 250 and 290. All that to say, that 10# in draw weight makes a BIG difference in both fps and KE.
There is a great guide out there about the realistic differences in bows and what your money gets you. Its not as much as you think when you jump from $400 to $1000+. Most of that is in "feel" and a little of it in performance. Most of the "technology" is draw curve related and limb stress related. My two cents, YMMV.

Overdrive drew rough to me and after shot was terrible...too me. To each their own. At $950...I'd go 360.
