Default Best Choice 100 grain or 125 grain

I am looking for advice or opinion on broadhead weight.

I am shooting a Hoty Vortec with XL 2000 limbs, draw weight is measured at about 72 pounds. I am shooting Easton 2315 XX78 arrows. I have recycled the arrows from another bow that had a longer draw length. I cut the arrows down to 29" and was wondering if the 125 grain broadheads were too much or if I should move down to 100 grain for the spine of the arrow and gain a little more speed. I am going out west and expecting the possiblity of a shot that is at least 30 yds. (please save your opinion on distance). I believe that you gain about 1 fps for every 5 grain reduction, but really was more concerned about having the proper spine on the arrow with the right broadhead. Thanks for any help you can offer!
