When Using Spellstrike, as written, if the magus criticals with the melee weapon, does the spell critical as well?

Yep


Honestly its the only reason you'd ever use spell strike because going vs touch is much easier than hitting AC.

Question is do you want to use a 19-20 x4 crit weapon for x4 spell damage or a 15-20 x2 crit so you spells crit more often.

also gives you a reason to invest in the crit focus to give you that +4 bonus to confirm crits

Or a 17-20x3 keen falcata


Nope. Stick to your scimitars and sabers, the spell crit is stuck to x2. It's in the post Grick linked too.
