I recently bought a Hoyt Carbon Matrix. Absolutely love it. I'm shooting Easton Arrows now, 300 spine 10.0 gpi. They are weighing right at 448 grains and flying at 280 fps. I'm pondering the idea of stepping down to a little lighter arrow to gain fps but not sure of it is worth giving up the kinetic part of the equation. Any thoughts or opinions?

Don't do it.  I shoot 300 spine shaft, 150gr BH w/total weight of 525gr at approx 280fps too. Plenty fast enough, and complete pass thru even if you hit bone!
525 gr at 280fps Thats impressive! are you shooting 80 lbs or what?

No, approx 74lbs.  But, I have 31.5" draw length, which helps a lot w/speed.

well that makes sense!
Remember that buck is climbing that Mt. every day!
