Darton Sequel 31 ST2 and 33 ST2 (Short Draw)

I'm currently shooting a Original Lift 29.5. I'm really interested in the new sequels. I'm between a 25.5 and 26 inch draw. I'd like some feedback and thoughts on either the 31 or 33 at that short of a draw
1.) Is the draw length true to what they say?
2.) Any speeds are the 25.5 or 26 settings?
3.) Anyone go from a Lift 29.5 to the Darton 31 or 33? What are you thoughts?
I'm setting up a Sequel 33 right now for a customer to demo later tonight. I can get you some numbers at 27"/60# with a 455gr arrow. Let me toss some food down my neck, I should have some numbers for you in about 30 minutes.
 
Awesome that'll be good. I can use those to get an estimate of it at 26 and 70Lbs from there.
At 27 mod setting and 59.8# with a 455gr arrow, through a whisker biscuit, soft nocks and loop (guessing 10gr on the string), I got 248, 248, 249 through my chronograph.

Note - I had to take a turn out of the limb bolts to get to 60# and the actual DL measured 27 1/8". By my math, that's damn close to calculated IBO of 334-335.
 
OK, so after reading this, I went and moved my stops out one hole (small stops). WOW! It holds great and seems to shoot just as well.

Question though, because I don’t know, can this hurt anything on the bow? Or possibly throw sync or timing out of whack???

I love how it feels, and it holds even steadier now, but don’t want to do anything that will end up screwing up the bow somehow.

You won't hurt anything... It's fairly common to have the mod set a little different than the draw stop to get the valley/holding weight were you want it.
