Default ok tech guys...need help..

whats the better set-up between these 2 options. I do not shoot 3-d..just hunting whitetail deer...

My equipment

04 bear trx 38.88 ata,6.63 brace hght, single cam, 30.5 dl, shoot with a release

option 1.. Dw=67#, 100 gr 3 blade broadhead, arrow length 31.25, st epics 30010.1 gpi, 18gr insert, 10gr nock, 3 fletchings @ 5 gr each no wrap.

option 2..DW 65#, 80 gr 3 blade broadhead, arrow lenght 30.25, st epic 340 9.4 gpi, 18gr insert, 10 gr nock, 3 fletchings @ 9 gr each w/ 10 gr wrap.

according to OnTarget 2 software by pinwheel software either of these 2 set ups would work. The breakdown from this software is as follows:

Option 1..266.8 fps, 71.93 KE, 10.59 FOC

Option 2..270.5 fps, 68.87 KE, 6.74 FOC

I am new to the tech stuff, so any help would be appreciated. I just want to get the most out of my setup...any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated....Thanks

If I left out any pertanent info please advise and I will reply

ps,,if there is a better option let me know

I like option one. I've always felt KE is a bit more important than speed.

Ok guys I know....But, I really don't know whats best..like I said I'm new to this and maybe I'm just looking into things to deeply. But according to OT2 I could use either spine arrow by making adjustments in other areas. What are the most impotant other areas? I'm not a speed guy, more KE type, but the FOC confuses me a bit. Do I want a higher FOC? I feel that with my DL I am in the middle of the spine charts. I don't want to be under or over spined too deeply. Just looking for some possitive ( or negative) reinforcement I guess...
