Masterwork Northern bow or Longbow

[lak__95]

I see some old discussions on forums about these two and I am still not sure what to chose, I have now Masterwork Northern one and have just found traders with longbow, so I was wondering which should I keep. Any advice on these two?

And my character is master with bow.

I believe longbow is more accurate but does less point damage. Northern bows are less accurate, more valuable and weighs less.

I went for the longbow, since I use bow for hunting first strike is the most important one so I can chase down prey fast.

About northern one well I have two now don't really understand reason why they are more expensive but I will use them for trading one day. Plus 1 lb of weight doesn't mean much to me If I have wounded animal.

Northern bows are more common than longbows. I would imagine it balances the game out a bit more if one of the most accurate/powerful yet common bows are more pricey.
