I know I have asked this question before but I have settled on a setup for elk hunting and I just want to make sure this is a good setup choice.

I will be shooting a HH Wesley Special pulling about 59lbs @ my 27" draw shooting a 28" 2016 weighted to 625grns with a STOS BH on the business end. I some how managed to get perfect arrow flight and I can group arrows into a 6" pie plate out to 25yds.  I plan on gettin spitting distance close before I shoot.  Is this a good, adequate setup or should I keep working?  Any advice will be appreciated.

That sounds like a great elk set up to me.  And best of all it sounds like you can shoot it well!  Get close, like you said, and you won't have to worry about the bow.

You've got a fine set up, plenty of bow and a good heavy arrow. Now all you need is the Elk to cooperate.

More than adequate. Get close and "stick em good"

Shootin' like that with the setup you mentioned  I'd say you are a few steps ahead of adequate.  Wait for that perfect broadside or quartering away shot in your "can't miss" range and you'll be celebrating with elk backstrap!  Let us know when you knock one down!

I sure do appreciate you NOT asking about hunting elk with your 425 grain arrow like most do.  
It is refreshing to see a new elk hunter not trying to just "get by" with the lightest bow/arrow set up.
