Assuming thatyou have a 100 grain head and including that weight for the shaft, Maxima 350's will be about 395 grains,while 2512's will be about 475 grains (includes inserts, nocks and feltchings @29"). The variable you're not consideringare the inserts. The huge tip insert for the 2512 is 55 grains alone.

They will likely be faster and twice as durable.
