Question Advantage with heavy points?

i was wondering what experience anybody has had with varying their point weight.

i am aware that heavier means less wind drift but what about the loss of speed? is this significant?

my 400 spine arrows clocked 274fps @ 27.5 inch @58lbs and 110g points. (this may be 265fps as chrono possibly facing wrong way)

i determine my arrow point weight by finding one third of total arrow weight(inc point). now although 110g was a match when my arrows were 28.5 inch, now they should be 100g with this caculation.

i think my arrows would benefit with 100g as i think they require a bit more stiffness, but would i be sacrificing to much wind stability?
