Default How much KE is enough?

Since this bow season is over for me, and my old reserve of arrows is about used up, I'm thinking of a little different setup for next year.
In so doing, I've been playing around with the front-of-center and (KE) kinetic energy of different setups.
One reason for a possible change is, I've been shooting ACC's, but they are down right expensive, so I may change to a less expensive arrow.
What do you think would be the average KE?
My present KE comes in at arount 56 ft/lbs, but my proposed new setup will come in around 70 ft/lbs, but I will sacrifice a little speed for a heavier arrow.
Back to the original question; what is a good KE, or what would be average?
Or, do you know what yours is?
