Bear in mind that you won't be holding at anchour for as long, it's not that much of a jump & the benefeits of higher poundage are tremendous. You could always try & get hold of a second hand bow, there's stacks to be had on EBay (mainly from the US, do an International search for Longbow) & you can pick up some real bargains from US traditional forums.
Cheers. I like the look of the Internature, I'll have to see if I can get along to Bowsports and try some in the flesh.

It's interesting what you say about poundage, I tried a 35# Samick at the weekend and that felt harder than my recurve. I did only put 6 arrows through it though, so not enough to get used to the pull.
