Need to know all abut them and the best one to buy.

Best one?
Simple: The Scorpyd Aculeus.

You can't legally hunt with that, the axle to axle is too short, 13.5 I think it has to be.
More stupidity from NY.

I'm not sure what the regs say but the one that comes up in the link is short

Guy I work with just spent 1500 on a ten point? The one he wanted was to short.
Damn things are pricey!

Your link shows cocked 12 7/8". The DEC reg is for uncocked. So should be legal at 20".

I see that now, what is the difference, friggin state.
To pricey for me, I thought about getting one as I have a hard time pulling back my compound, even at 60#.

The crank on that Scorpyd makes it easy peasy. Thing is a tack driver. Extremely flat shooting. 100 yards no problem.

A used Scorpyd Orion should be more reasonable money, and almost identical to the Aculeus.

Very cool but I am looking cheaper. A friend got a nice 6 point with one around $450.00.
