You’re definitely over thinking it.
I switch between a SH Fast Eddie and a Real Deal all the time, depending on what I’m going after. Finally settled on the Fast Eddie 3 pin.
A lot of money to drop on your first bow and a lot of draw weight. JMO.
I have a Axius Ultra which I enjoy shooting. I prefer a longer, more stable forgiving bow.
On my E35s, 29”, 70#, I shot Axis 5mm 340 for years with 100 grain heads.
