Barnett Quad 400 Crossbow

Now that Michigan is going to allow crossbows during the archery season, I'm thinking about getting one, so I can sit up in my treestand and playing sniper when a big buck comes along. One of my wholesalers offers Barnett and Horton crossbows, and the Barnett Quad 400 looks pretty good. Since I'm not very knowlegable about crossbows, I thought I'd get advice from someone who is. So, who can give me any information, good or bad, about the Quad 400?

On the plus side, it is fast and accurate. It fits me very well(6' medium frame). LOP feels good, with a smooth trigger pull, out-of- box. The "package" is an excellent value for the $.
On the down side, within the first 30 shots, mine blew a limb. Just plain bad luck?? Barnett promptly took care of the situation including shipping charges. However, it is headed back to the factory again, after last years hunt, with a badly frayed server. This happened on my second shot in the field, last October.
If they can't get this thing straightened out, it will go on the auction block and I will replace it with a re-curve style crossbow.
One other tid-bit, the only case I found available was a Flambeau soft side, and the bow/w scope pushes it to the limits(height). No hard-side cases were available for a scoped unit.
There are several threads on crossbows here that may help in your final decision.
