I am looking to upgrade my irons and wedges. Currently hitting the Nike VR Pro Cavity 4-PW. Not trying to spend $1000. What can I upgrade to that’s comparable but maybe a bit better feel

Well…as far as ‘feel’ that’s subjective and  difficult to answer for you. Mizuno irons are pretty notorious for having a great feel to them. I played the MP54’s and can attest to them being beautifully buttery. 
 

Do you prefer a thinner top line? Do you want to stick to cavity backs? I’m assuming you’re not looking for Game Improvement irons? Titleist irons may appeal to you and you could definitely get a used set under $1000. The T-series are pretty sweet. I played the Titleist MB690’s and they had a beautiful feel but of course those are muscle backs and have minimal forgiveness. 
 

TaylorMade P770/790…another option. Really I’d suggest you explore some that look appealing then go somewhere where you can hit them and see what you think. Cheers!🙂

Let me tell you something, those Nikes are GREAT clubs.  The VR pro line is very much sought after.  You’ll be hard pressed to find anything that feels better.  Mizuno makes some on piece irons and might be a good place to start looking.  Don’t know your skill level but what you have now would be played by scratch golfers as well as 20 handicaps.  Taylormade p770 and 790 will get you a little more distance but the feel/sound will be clicky in comparison.  Check out Ping G and I series… can’t go wrong there either but keep in mind, if you want the same feel, you’re going to have to look for a one piece head.

Look at Sub 70.  They have some nice forged irons that are well under $1000.  Unfortunately, there aren’t many places that carry the fitting heads but you can order a couple of demo irons and try them for a couple of weeks for $20.

    • Day 126: another busy day, so just did some mirror work. Checking set up and backswing and working on a few downswing feels. 
    • Day 310 - Working on my follow-through. Higher chest, belt towards the target. Small swings at first, building to a fuller swing (still not thrilled with my short backswing).
    • Day 201 (19 Nov 24) - Walked the back nine at Minnesott today, played the “white” tees with the persimmon woods and bladed irons.  It’s a challenge I really like as the clubs are shorter in overall distances.  It really forces me focus on the value of the approach game.     Somehow yesterday’s post did not load / so it’s above.  Today (Day 202) I did some backyard short yardage work - 7i dink  and rolls, 9i chips and 50deg pitches - working to get it in before the rain started around noon. 
    • Day 51 - 2024-11-20 Played nine holes of Sanctuary Moon with a 6I while pausing in the backswing and otherwise just practicing. If you're into Star Wars, or don't actively hate it… this is worth checking out.
    • Eh. Nah. To quote someone else:
