Question Arrow Choice Advice Needed

Having bought my arrows (Plat Plus 1716) to go with 30lbs limbs, I have reduced the poundage (to 28lbs) and shortened the arrows by an inch (now 26") and now find that my arrows are far too stiff.

Yesterday I tried various other arrows that were much closer to what I should have (Plat Plus 1616, Carbon 920 and ACC 2:1500).

I also have a shooting distance issue - I can hit 50yds find, but doubt that I will be able to hit 60yds without reversing my sight, so arrows that would increase my distance would also help.

I have looked on the Eastern charts which puts me on a Y6 in the youth and T1 on the adult scale (I am an adult, but pull 28lbs on 26")

Y6 would be:
Plat Plus 1516
X7 - 1612 or 1614
Acc 3-00

T1 would be
Plat Plus 1616 or 1713
X7 - 1712 or 1714
Acc 2L-04 or 2-04

My questions are:

1: How reliable are the charts - should I look at the T1 or Y6 values?
2: How much difference would ACCs give over X7s - is it worth it at the kind of arrows weights at this end?
3: How much difference would there be between the X7 1612 and 1614 - would one be that much better/worse or is it more a fine tuning thing?

Thanks

Morning
