I wouldn't think there would be a durability issue. I kind of like the higher profile myself.

"...no effect" That you noticed. And admittedly it would be very small, but the higher profile slows the arrow and makes more noise.
After my testing I went to 3 two inch feathers. It's been 7 years, ten animals, 6 species, and 5 Compton bookers.
I'm not saying everyone should shoot two inch!!! Try 'em.

From my experience, feather noise comes from improper gluing. Maybe not getting them consistent on the shaft or having a front not down flush. I currently have 5 1/2" natural turkey feathers on my old Microflite 8's. The feathers were on them when I got them. With the camera set on the bale, you don't hear anything except the arrow striking the target. So noise is the least of my considerations.
Back in the 70's, Tom Jennings used a shooting machine to flight test helical against straight fletching and found that at full reach of cast, there was less than 20 yards difference in the two. Applying that to hunting distance makes it negligible at best. Yes, 2" fletching will work if you you like it...I also showed that here some time ago at the request of Bowmania. It's all about personal choice, nothing more.
