3 vs 4 fletch arrow set up

I'm trying the four fletch system as soon as the parts come in. I will let you know but my thought is it doesn't matter. If four fletch was that much better old untunable bows and trad guys would be using them. I think it looks cool and it keeps me working on my setup.

Swaro 15 vs 12

I need some help weighing out options between the swaro 15 vs the 12's. I will be using them off of a tripod as a spotting scope primary. I wasnt sure if giving up the field of view was worth the 3x mag? Set up close range 10 for spotting 15 for judging Set up longer range 15 for spotting 80...
