Default Broadhead opinions?

I know the Mech vs Fixed issue has been beat to death here... but here is mydilema.

I love Rky Mnt Snypers (mech). I've killed two antelope and a deer with them, and none of the animals went more than 30 yrds. I will continue to use these heads for deer... Its my opinion that I'd rather increase my accuracy chances and I like the design of them opposed to the flip back type. Besides, Im pumping about 65-66 ft-lbs of KE so im not to worried bout the KE loss of opening.

BUT. I have a bear on our property on my cuddeback that we estimatecould be over400lbs. Ive heard of many guys killin bear w/ mechs.. but for this case (bear hunting)im choosing to put as much KE into cutting as possible.

So now comes the question... I need to choose btwn Magnus stingers (bleeder blades) and Muzzy 3 blade. Assuming i can get both to shoot equally accurate outta my setup which should choose?

Basically I just want opinions of both heads. I've had a Muzzy not punch all the way through a deer shoulder blade at 5 yrds (65lb Mathews Q2 @ 245fps), and ive also killed 3 deer w/ muzzy at a max of 35 yrds... So im torn... I like the cut on contact of the magnus and I tested them last year and they are very tough head. So any opinions will be appreciated.
