Cutthroat Broadheads Question

For those that shoot Cutthroat I have three questions. First, is it a huge difference between the Standard Steel and the S7? They are out of 125g single bevel in S7. Next, if I do buy the Standard, would it be worth my while to pay the extra $12 to have them sharpened? I'm really good at ruining broadheads when I try to sharpen them. Work in progress here. Finally, if my arrows spin left do I want to buy a left bevel?

Season opens in literally 8 hours and I'm over here talking about new broadheads that I've never shot before, welcome to my life.
 
Match the single bevel to the fletch orientation, right helical/offset gets Right bevel, left gets left, I assume that since your arrow spins left it has left hand helical/offset.
As far as steel goes the standard has worked just fine for me, I can't speak to the S7.
I sharpened my own with a stay sharp guide and some silicon carbide sandpaper, I did increase the roller size on the sharpener to achieve the duplex grind that should extend the life span of the broadhead that is discussed on innovative outdoorsman's youtube channel
I thought recommend his sharpeners for any broadhead sharpening.

Good info, I appreciate it. I have the Stay Sharp Guide and I freakin' suck. It's never taken me that many strokes to accomplish anything in my life. But I'll get it

The silicon carbide sandpaper works surprisingly well on the cutthroats, I heard that they are notorious for taking a long time to get an edge, but I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of time it took me, definitely worth buying a pack of you can find it
