Default Difference between 65/80% letoff?

I have a question that has probably been asked many times. I apoligize if that's the case.
Here in Oregon were are required to hunt with no more than 65% leftoff. There are alot of bow manufactures that offer 80% let-off on their bows and shops usally have them set that way. I shot a Liberty and Pat SC and both were set at 80% let-off.
Does it make sense to have them turned down to 65% let-off and shoot them before buying. My current bow a Martin Pantera has always been set @ 65%.
What characteristics change going from 80% to 65%? Besides holding more weight, is the draw cycle the same? Does anything else change.

Thanks in advance, Camo
