Tungstens will have 10 grains more, BUT a lot less in insert length. The weakening will then come more from the releasing of a longer length of arrow tube for flexion, than from the additional weight.

You might even gain enough weakness by cutting down your stainless steel points.

The best example I found was in using full-length 100-grain points for ACE (100-90-80) instead of cut-down to 100 grains 120-grain points (120-110-100). The full-length point was giving a much stiffer arrow.

You might want to try it, or you might want to keep a high value of FOC.
