Curious to see peoples thoughts about shaft length vs weight.

Recently purchased a 3wood which is 43.5" long and has a 65g shaft. I am replacing it, but want to cut it at 43" even. Should I get the same shaft weight and risk the swing weight dropping a bit, or, should I get a slightly heavier shaft like 75g in hopes of keeping the swingweight the same.

You likely wont notice the swingweight difference. 1/2 inch shorter drops about 3 swingweight points.
