I don't just shoot the Bowtechs because of their speed. I shoot them because they hold steadier than any other bow I have shot and and excellently made and great value for money. In Australia the Bowtech is $500 cheaper than a UltraElite and performs as well (if not better).
I would recommend trying one with the wood grip then. I used one with the wood last year and liked it alot, it's very comfortable and well made.
Keep in mind also that recurve bows are built so you slot your hand in and it forces the correct grip. Compounds are touchier left-right than recurves so can't do that. The key is finding the correct position and setting your hand at the start of your draw and keeping it there.
Here is my old BT with the wood grip.
