The one thing about the Python is stealth. The other bows are noisemakers, compared to it. The Python can shoot several arrows without close animals spooking.
The Snakebite is the one bow too much in the collection, I think, but I got it anyway with the DVD edition last year. I later bought the Python for looks only. The silence argument I learned later about.
I agree that with clothes and premium items and the many rifles now they are aiming at people's wallets only. But then, nobody is forced to buy. While I have more firearms than I use, most of them I have due to the DVD edition including them last year. Don't know how it is with the 2014 edition which is out since 4 weeks or so.
I do not plan to buy any new weapons as long as it is no Tomahawk or throwing speer.
