Now that I have both my Black Hunter and Bear Grizzly with me on this trip, I shot both at the same time. Both are rated at 45# draw.
I had not done that at home.
I don't know if it was always the case, but the Black Hunter has a noticeably lighter draw, and I discovered that I really do need to use a thicker leather vs all calf skin Black Widow tab with my Bear. My middle finger pad is still kind of numb from shooting over a week ago.
Do limbs on take downs get weaker with use? Or is it that the Black Hunter is just a cheap piece of crap that breaks down?

I do plan on checking out the new Sammick Discovery ILF bow when the budget recovers. Price is great for Carbon/Foam limbs.
The advantage of the more expensive ILF bows is more choices for longer length (Lancaster recommended a 70" AMO length for my 29 inch draw). But the Discovery is targeted as a hunting ILF bow and keeps things more compact.
 
Likely just the differences in the two bows, take down vs one piece and possible the string. Also the true poundage of factory bows can vary a good deal between bows and various draw lengths.
