Default What poundage, 60 or 70?

I will be buying the new Mathews LX bow as soon as my dealer recieves them. Which bow would shoot the fastest? A 60 lb bow set at it' s max (usually 61 - 63 lb) or a 70lb bow set at the same 63lb. And will it be a noticably difference. The reason I ask is my dealer said a 60lb bow set at it' s max would shoot harder and that I wouldn' t gain much speed by going with a 70 lb bow. I like the idea of having a 70lb bow set at 63 or so pounds with the option of increasing the weight if I want to. Also, once a bow is broken in, how much of that 60lb will I lose. I don' t want to end up shooting a 58 lb bow. Does anyone have any insight into my delima? I currently shoot an old High Country at 78lb with no problems.
