Fantastic set of clubs, and damn tough to make perform. Had the sweet spot as easy to find as... well, I can't say in mixed company. Played the same configuration and they were a joy and the bane of my existence for a season.

Over the years, I’ve owned about six sets of clubs total including dupes for our VanIsle residence. All off the rack. Switched in my 30s to Mizunos, IMO the best forged irons available. Oh, and I still have a 2 iron, although I admit I’m hitting my hybrid more and more.

Still have three sets of clubs with the 2 iron. Love it for the wind. Hate it because you need to play a lot to hit it well.

If you want to improve your game, blades are the only choice. They communicate misses instantaneously. There is no other way to learn and improve your swing, IMO. I will never play GI clubs.

I just want to be certain we're on the same page and not confusing improvement with taking your game to the next level. Game improvement clubs are designed to help correct off center strikes and bring the ball back into the middle of the shot dispersion zone. For players who haven't yet found the middle of the club with any consistency, game improvement clubs (most cast irons) are the best choice. For those who can find the middle of the club face and want to work the ball, forged blades are the way to go, for all the reasons you mentioned. I get where you're coming from on learning the craft, but for someone who isn't a dime on tape, they should be in game improvement clubs.
What are you playing right now?
