I can throw in my confirmation about the concerns in this thread; at 3AP per shot, Crossbows aren't quite viable enough to be different-but-equal to Bows, even with their superior damage.
I strongly recommend that Crossbows be tuned to include their damage bonus with a few other perks to make them appealing; for instance, if Crossbows cost 3AP to shoot, had the same modest damage-boost that they do now, and also had +10% accuracy and +7% Crit Chance (or something around this zone) I would consider them equal to Bows for different reasons.
