The Too Simple has a shorter head than the Wise Choice and the Nock2It (which are essentially the same release). So anchor point is going to be slightly different between the three. A direct crossover to the Wise Choice is the First Choice. The Silverback is a two-finger version of the Evolution.

Holding weight 15 pounds??? My target compound was over 30. Thumb releases might be ok for hunting but I think they foster punching the button and flinching, and not maintaining back tension through the shot. But then maybe you need more draw weight to activate back tension. I still use my CheckIt release.
