I actually agree with the rest of your post.

Broadheads can be tuned to the same poi but will not have the same flight characteristics as fp's.
I agree the FOC change will be marginal but going from a blunt tip to a Grim Reaper SS You have another inch of broadhead sticking out front.

I prefer to shoot and dial in the head I plan to hunt with. Could try to dial both fieldtips and broadheads in but find it just easier to dial in the broadheads and practice still but not make any adjustments.
