Default Spine question?

I'm changing arrows this year and while checking out the chart on easton, I notice that a change in draw weight of a couple pounds up or down put me 2 different spine groups. My question is, if I'm right on the border, is it better to be over or under spined.

Shooting ACCs, cam & 1/2, I haven't decided yet but I will be shooting somewhere between 62-65lbs.

My pro-shop guy seemed to think it was better to be overspined than underspined. I've had success with a heavier arrow so I'd favor the heavy arrow as well if I were you.

I don't think there is much doubt, but that it is better to be overspined. Overspined arrows tend to fly very similar to each other. Underspined arrows tend to be less consistant to each other, during flight. I think most fixed blade broadhead flight problems are from shooting underspined arrows.
