Best Hoyt Option for 26” draw??

I'm considering upgrading to either the RX8 or RX9. I can get modules in either bow for my 26" draw length. However, I am curious if anyone has any experience with the SD model of the RX9? Being at the front end of the cam cycle at 26" on the RX, I expect my speed could suffer, and with the SD, being further back in the cam, I can imagine that my speed would improve. My local bow shop only has the RX8 and the Alpha x2, so I cannot get the side-by-side comparison I was hoping for.
The Hoyt website says the RX9 SD is also only rated up to 310, whereas the RX8 and RX9 are at 342. If these are proportionally accurate at 26", I'm not feeling like I want to sacrifice that much speed for the assumed comfort of the SD.

Thoughts?
And Thanks for any help!
 
The SD speed rating is at 27"

The short draw cam should be quite a bit faster, and likely a little more harsh on draw cycle, which is not a big deal in my opinion as you will get used to the draw cycle pretty quick!

Any of the 25 Hoyt bows are a big speed improvement!
