Win&Win XQ-1 the test of time?

I'm just about to agree to pay for a pair of v.lightly used XQ-1's after shooting them at about 2lbs over my usual drawweight.
heavy going for me- but they seem like nice quiet, smooth limbs, in great nick.

I'm wondering how people have got on with them as time has gone by - I realise they're not 'new on the market' ( in fact I've been told they're discontinued), and that a search revealed only fairly old appraisals for the limbs.
Have you any thoughts on them now, way after their release? Does anyone still shoot them?...how do you find them?....and how much should I pay for them? For the price of a set of ACC's how would you rate them?

I have a pair of second generation XQ-1s that I've been shooting for 2 years. I've had them on 3 different risers and they were fine limbs in each case. I sometimes think the XQ-1s are actually a bit smoother at the end of the draw than my WinEx limbs.

Oh, and I should probably mention that I am over-drawing these to 32.75". I am very satisfied with them and would not hesitate to buy another pair of XQ-1 if I find the right weight and length.
