I bought one two years ago. I know that you have described yourself as tall (over 6 feet if I remember correctly). I am short, at 5'2". It is almost impossible for me to pull the bow back (my arms aren't long enough). And I'm not young (49). We have a friend that is in his 70s and he as a cool apparatus that you install on the bow and then you "crank" it to pull the string back. I thing that thing is worth the money.
We paid almost $500 for ours 2 years ago. I don't remember the brand but I think it was called "wicked ridge". The $500 did include a cheap scope that is only good for about 50 yards.
Good luck. As you have indicated, there are a lot of choices out there and it can be confusing.
