I start with this statement because I feel that the most important part is being able to shoot your setup under all conditions accurately and with confidence.
I have chosen my setup for the worst case scenario where the shot may not be the best placed shot or it might have hit a large bone. With this setup a complete pass through on a bull elk at 50 yards is not a problem. I have also found elk shoulder blades are not a problem but the joint where the leg connects to the shoulder blade is a problem.
For me I put more value in hitting power than high speeds and a tight pin gap; but that is just me.

Where do you find arrows with that many gpi? I shoot 300 spine arrows that run around 10gpi. I haven't found anything much heavier. Do you wrap your arrows to get the weight up?
