Default Bow-arrow elk combo>?

Hey all,
Just a question,I have two bows that are set-up for fall.My question is everone seems to think 400 gr arrow is the start point for elk.

I have my Tribute set-up like this 78 lbs,29.5 draw,rip-cord fall away,Copper John 5 pin.
I'm shooting Cheeta hunters @ 27 3/4 with blazer,100 gr slick Tricks weighing 392 gr.I chrono'ed it last night 4 shots @ 328 FPS.
According to Gold-tips site I'm getting 93.67 Ft/lb of kenetic energy.

My other one is my Mathews SB,29 w/loop set at 72 lbs,WB,MT Dusk devil 2 sight.
Shooting Nudge 55/75 shafts,4 tru-flight feathers weigh @ 376 gr w stingers,or 401 gr with Wasp 100 gr 4 blade.I chrono'ed last year @ 281 fps @ 397 gr arrows.
Do you all think my arrow weight is enough??
