Don't fix what isn't broke. If your broadheads group well and your bow is properly tuned, why would you change. Don't give in to the peer pressure.

I agree with MO, if you are shooting on target with good groupings and like it; there is no need to change.

A lot would depend on the length of your arrows and how you shoot, fingers etc. But to me, I'd think you'd end up a little light in the front end with that telephone pole you're shooting. You wouldn't gain much speed with the switch and may very well have to go to a different arrow. Go to this sight and plug in your numbers and see what it does for your FOC, arrow selection etc.
