Yes I do. The heavier arrow will penetrate better and quieten your bow which is never a bad thing. +1

Be sure to tune your bow to eliminate fishtailing before you try the chrony. A whipping arrow can knock it clear off a tripod. I learned that 30 years ago.

I chrony'd my setup under an array of conditions:
4 settings up and down my "draw weight" scale.
100, 125 gr tips
then the topper.... when I cut the 4" of unnecessary arrow length off my arrows.
each of those had a fairly linear impact on my fps. Good stuff and WELL worth the data gathering. I put it in a pretty cool spreadsheet. (cause I'm a geek, and that's what geeks do)
