I know my zipper longbow is faster than my Bob Lee recurve, not by much but faster. My Bob Lee isn't slow either.
The argument stated can be applied to rifles as well right??? I should buy a mass produced rifle for performance because they build more there they must know more than a custom build where quality is perceived more important than quantity. Does everyone need a custom built rifle no. Can someone kill all they want with a rem 770, yes. Is a 770 going to win a 1000yd competition no. Does everyone have the skill to notice the difference and benefits of a custom rifle, no.
Not all customs are built the same. But several are built with the attention to detail to make them shoot extremely well. Performance for a traditional hunting bow can not be defined with speed alone. It comes with draw cycle, quietness, speed. And many more.
If you know what you want ie riser length, grip style, sight window size, center cut. Riser weight, over all length, tiller, limb core material, carbon backed or not, etc. Then by all means get the bow you want custom built. If you are content with a stock bow that is efficient then by all means get two stock bows for the same price. You can kill just as well.
Ultimately it is personal preference to get a custom bow. If what you get justifies the extra $ to you then who cares if anyone else agrees.
