Whats 25grains here or there

Hi, Ive begun to look into the point weights, mainly because im wanting to lower the draw weight on my bow a bit.

Im shooting 42lbs measured on an old spring bow scale and about 40lb on the easton bow scales, I'm shooting 29" long 520 ACE with the 59grain inserts with 36 grains screw in points.

I am thinking of going down to around 38lbs and I was just wondering if the added 25 grains of the heaviest break off point would make that much difference to the spine of the arrow. Since they are already according to the easton chart 1 spine out and if i where to go down further then they would be two spines out. I know some people say having a stiff arrow is better than a weak one but this is kinda ridiculous since i dont think i will be able to tune the arrows.

Any help really appritiated thanks.
