Either one of those arrows going even 40 feet per second slower would be fine.  Bears are VERY thin skinned and are easy to penetrate.  Make a double lung shot and they don't go far at all!!!  If you shoot a big bear in the front Heavy leg bone, it won't matter if you were shooting 700 grains at 200FPS, you aren't going to penetrate it.
