Default RE: Arrow Spine Alignment

OK, I just read a lot of posts about arrow spine, arrow spine testers and whatchamacallits. I guess I should have done that first. So it looks like I will be building my own like Straightarrow's since I no longer have access to a machine shop to build one like Black Frog's. That thing is a piece of art!

I saw some threads that said one person put the cock feather/vane on the stiffest side and one put it on the weakest side. Is there a better way or does it not make a difference as long as they are all the same? I would love to see some slow motion of an arrow leaving the bow to determine which way it bends in reference to the spine stiffness.

Question of the day:
With all of the advancements in archery equipment, do you think that testing for arrow spine will become the newest thing? It seems that 5 or 10 years ago, this probably would not have made a big difference in accuracy but now it appears that only the small details are left to tackle. Opinions?
