I'm looking at getting one of these bows and was wondering what your recommendations would be. I'm leaning towards the Alphamax 35 but I can get the Katera much cheaper. Any thoughts?
 
I have a Katera XL with the Z3 cam. It is probably the smoothest pulling cam, that actually produces speed, I have ever shot.

The AM35 pulled a little stiff for my taste. That said, I shot my friends AM32 at 72 pounds and was amazed at how smooth it drew. Very different than the 35. I can't explain it.

I have been trying to sell my Katera XL to get either a regular Katera or an AM32. No luck so far. By the way, $400 if anyone is interested:) 28.5" 70lbs.
 
Both are great bows. The reason the 32 pulled easier was because it had a different cam on it. The #3 cam in the 32 is from 28-30" and it smoother pulling than the #2 cam 26-28 on that bow. The smaller cam pulls harder but gives guys with a short draw length a little better performance. The 3 cam is a nice cam and isn't as hard to pull.
 
I sold my 08 katera and bought the 09 alphamax 32.
both great bows but the am32 would be my pick.
good luck
