Question Help me choose a drop away.

I'm trying to decide on a drop away rest and I'm not sure which one I want to drop money on without getting any good response from you all out there. This drop away will be going on a Mathew Legacy. The major thing I want it something quiet and looks well. Here are the 3 drop aways I've been eye ballin.

I have done a couple searches on the net and I have found that the Trophy Taker has some pretty good reviews. I like the fact that everything is closed up well so no dust and dirt can really affect it. Only thing I dislike about it is where the arrow sits its self. What's some Pro's & Con's? How quiet is this rest?
I recall Feathermax saying I should consider the rest.

The second drop away I'm looking is the Trophy Ridge Drop Zone. I haven't really read too much reviews on it. Looks like a solid rest. Looks somewhat heavy? Anyone have any experience with this drop away? How well do you like it? Pro's & Con's? One thing I don't like about this rest is where the launcher arm sits in place. Seem to me it would be easy to get $hit caked in there and make it possibly not work correctly in the Field. There is always that chance. I like the idea that it has vibration dampener on it.

Lastly is the Shaffer MAT-1. Looks like a pretty nice set up. I don't recall hearing anyone having this rest so I'm still wary about it. I like the finish on it and they're for Mathews. They say it's suppose to lock into the riser and not move which is awesome. Anyone have any experience with this drop? Pro's & Con's?

Only other rest I've personal had experience with was a Nap 1500 I believe. It was alright, if it wasn't adjusted correctly it was loud imo. It didn't last to long, it got traded off at New Years when I was with some of my buddies.

So, can anyone help my choose a drop away rest?

Thanks again

Mike
