431grn arrow out of a 65lb bow has essentially all of the potential to pass through that a 431grn arrow at 80lbs would have.

Very similar to your situation, one of the guys I set up an Outlaw for 2 seasons ago went from Beman ICS 400's with 100grn rages to crested GT XT 7595's last season and 125grn Rages, went from 395 to 440grns. Both killed deer, but the heavier/stiffer spine flew considerably better (proper spine for his bow).
