Barnett Crossbows Which to keep?

Hello,
Iam a newcomer. I have just recently been given 2 crossbows, what a dilemma, right? If only that worked with raises and vacations. Both are Barnett, and both are some of the fastest out there at 345 fps. Both are compound, 150 lb. Both are synthetic with camo finish. One is called the Revolution, which is more like a traditional gunstock with a monte carlo style stock, and the other is a Quad 400 which has a tactical shape stock. Both have a lifetime warranty. Both came with manual sights, the Quad looks more suited for a good scope though. The one that I opened is the Revolution. I have shot this thing about 30 times(minus sighting) What an accurate shot! Nothing like shooting a bow. My question is which to keep and which one to sell? Anyone out there have thoughts as to which one is best? Anyone out there want either of the two, I'll keep the other one!

Look out, Bambi! It is ON!!! I have been practicing with 125 gr. broadheads(3 blade, BTW) and I have no doubt that if I get a clean one up to 70yds, you can put'er in the freezer. There is one spot that I have found, ideal, that I have already taken a pole saw to. Cut my lanes out early. And the deer are thick as a milkshake on this plot. It is close by the house as well, in fact, I can take my shot, go get the tractor with a boom pole in about 5 min, and hang and dress in one spot(provided this deer isn't an Uber-mag that runs for two miles)
Here in Illinois you have to have a medical card to use xbow or be over 65 (as of this year). So I have no experience with them.
Anyway, Iguess it wouldn't serve to have one if you can't hunt it. I believe the only advantange it would serve is, with practice, you take out alot of the "shot difficulty" that you get with a comp or recurve bow. You still gotta worry about brush, and nerves. But you are gonna be able to cock and leave it alone. So when the monster comes weaving his way thru the saplings, you raise ol painless up, click the safety off and track him for a good shot. No excessive movement in drawing the bow back, and no feeling like you arm are gonna drop off if you have to hold on target till you get the shot you want. More like rifle hunting, during bow season.
What size is avg whitetail out there, or do ya'll even have'm?
do you guys hunt turkey, and with regular bows?
Good talkin' at ya, bang. BTW, my real name is Rob.
I've taken shots at turkey with a bow but haven't connected. Good talkin with you too, stick around and post often.
