Mach 33 vs Levitate for "budget" back up

[Prestjd]

My wife and I currently shoot a lot of 3D, TAC and TAC style events. I am wanting a back up, maybe a dedicated hunting bow.

I'm currently shooting a pse mach 34 29/70 and love it.

I'd like to but by a 80lb mach 33 but waiting to see what pse drops this year. I have been considering looking into a used levitate with e2 cams.
I love my mach 34 so much I have even considered buying a mach 35 but really want some more speed.
I'm pretty sold on pse carbon bows but maybe willing to venture out.

I have a levitate with E2 and Mach 33 with EC2 cams. The Mach 33 seems to be much more stable and I shoot better groups at distance. Also I went from 70 to 75 lb limbs on Mach 33 because the cam is much smoother. I’ve shot the levitate once since I bought the mach 33.

I'm finishing up an 80# Levitate build with SE2 cams.

I considered a special order Mach 33, but I was able to save $1000 getting the used Levitate. It's pretty sweet. I'll have to post my build and review once I finish getting it tuned.

This build let me try out multiple "new to me" components without having to pay new prices:
80# limbs, EC2 vs SE2, carbon riser, camo dipping, system X strings, IMS rest. I've learned a lot in the process.

That said, the Mach 33 looks a bit more refined with a couple of features the Levitate 2.0 doesn't have.

A guy can really get some deals picking up lightly used archery equipment. Levitate is a wonderful bow and I shot it since it came out. The levitate is faster with that shorter brace height as well. I just seem to group a little better with the 33. Hunting wise, I could pick up either one…

Clone your current 34.

I had an 80# levitate and currently have an 80# mach33 with E2 cams. They shoot pretty much the same to be honest. Speeds are very similar.
