Project X 6.0 v. 6.5 v. Hardstepped 6.0?

Looking for some advice. Hit the new Apex yesterday and liked the Project X shaft. A little torn between Project X 6.0 and 6.5 iron shafts. In the past I have played DGX100 and Modus 125X (current shaft) with no issue. Used the Mizuno optimizer and my swing speed was 94/95 but my hunch is I tend to swing harder than normal when doing those so probably in the 88-92 mph range is more normal in play I would guess unless I go after it. Any thoughts? Seemed to hit both well. Thinking the fact that the 6.0 is a little lighter might be nice but not determinative either way. The other option is to hardstep the 6.0. I would say accuracy is priority over distance but I didn't see a big difference between the two.

Thanks!

You are tired after 17 holes and on the fairway of the 18th hole you need to hit a 4 iron on to the green.  Which shaft do you wish is in your iron?

Two questions you have to answer. Do you have issues squaring the face at impact and do you need more height. Those are the two things that the softer shaft can help with. Other than that and a few grams of weight, there is no real difference.

The hard step will basically split the difference but retain the lighter weight.

Based on swing speed alone I'd stick with the 6.0.  I'm at the same 6 iron speed and one of my choices when I get fit is always the 6.0.
