Default Grains per inch vs. spine

So last night I went to the local archery shop where I bought my Hoyt Vulcan (26" draw, 25.5" arrow length, 100 grain tip 2.5" blazer vanes). I brought a ton of questions with me mostly about why they would have suggested me shooting the Blackhawk Vapor Hunter whitetail arrows in a 5000 series shaft. From what I have learned in this forum that is over spined for me quite a bit. The response I got from the owner was that he was trying to help me make weight for my bow poundage. I am currently shooting 70# (just had it measured last night)but my bow can be cranked up to 80# and he said within that 10# range I need to have at least 6 grains per pound pulled on my bow. He also said this would probably be a difficult task to find an arrow to make weight and be spined correctly. He then gave me two 350 CX Maxima Hunters with the FOC technology to try and said that these would be a better fit than the Vapors I am currently shooting... Thus today I wanted to share this info with all of you and see if what my local archery shop is telling me makes sense, I ask because if I end up having to go with the CX Maxima's or an arrow like that I will be doubling my per dozen price. I just want to make sure I am not being sold something that just costs more and doesn't actually help my problem.
