I would say stay with the 55 pound and plan on shooting the same shafts (with feathers). This will allow you to use what you already know about the flight of the arrow right away!
Yes the lighter draw weight is a plus but if you are planning on using the compound at anytime in the future using the same draw and arrow will close to duplicate the flight and make life easier.
I bought a takedown to match my compound. Both are shooting #62 and while it is a bit much for Ohio Whitetail, I have used them for Elk and Antelope both out west and in Africa without any change in my perception and shooting style as the flight is very similar out to about 25 or so which is my limit on the recurve instinctivly.

Good Luck and drop me a line if you live in central Ohio and maybe we can meet at Delaware State Park and shoot the archery course together sometime!
