Here's a video from Ted's Holdover showing the same airgun (HW100) shot at 3 different velocity levels to demonstrate how accuracy is affected.

The difference is eye-opening. Power is great, but not if you can't hit what you're aiming at.
So why do manufacturers make airguns in .177 that shoot well over 1000fps?
The videographer addresses that question--it's primarily because that's what consumers THINK they want.
