Default Help Me Decide, time for a change

I have been shooting 28.5" (that includes the knock)Easton xx75 2117's for years. Well after this year my arrows started to fall apart. Its time for me to upgrade to some new arrows. I shoot a 2003 Mathews Ultra 2. I have it set at 65lbs and use the original Muzzy ZeroEffect drop away rest. I shoot a 100gr broadhead and currently shoot 5" feathers. I will be switching to4" feathers though. At 28.5" my arrow is about3 inches in front of my drop away rest at full draw. I have narrowed it down to two different arrows.

One being the Carbon Express Maxima 350 (or should I go with 250) shafts, and the other shaft being the Easton FMJ 400 shaft.

My ears are open and I haven't purchased anything yet. I would like some input from people that have used the arrows. I know they are expensive but that doesn't matter.

Thanks for the input

If you want a good arrow for a little $$$$, Made in USA, try these: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/pod/horizontal-pod.jsp?id=0004537&navCount=1&parentId=cat 20061&masterpathid=&navAction=push&cmC at=MainCatcat21424-cat20061_TGP&parentType=index&indexId=cat2 0061&rid= I have been thoroughly impressed with them, as have all of my buddies that have seen and shot a few of them. My one buddy who exclusively shot Gold Tips even has some now. Another buddies is loyal to his Carbon Express Arrows, but he's a bit bullheaded also.

There are 5 us here that shoot Radial X-Weave shafts. We have all been shooting them for 2 years now. They are extremely durable. We use them from hunting, 3-D and indoors.

I have killed boar, deer and numerous small game with them. While chasing squirrels, I abuse these shafts terribly and they hold up great.

They are also very accurate. Just shot a 300 score the other night whaile using these arrows.
