A QAD is ok, but I didn't like having to insert the cord into my down cable and timing. I have had every Hamskea other than the Epsilon (don't think it's worth the price). I currently have a Trinity and two Hybrid Micro hunters. The Hybrid is my favorite for function and cost. I am a spring guy w/Blake Hitch and don't care for the rubber rebound dampener. With the Hamskea, I only need to put a finger on the fork to see if everything is still good. If it moves down I just tighten the cord a little. With a QAD you need to look at the line at full draw and if off, you should put it on a drawing board to reset. IMO. But, QAD's do shoot fine and have taken a lot of deer. Lock up position is also a big plus.
