I've had a similar internal debate, as I bought new clubs yesterday. In the end though, I think for 90% of us, more forgiveness than we need is better. I have a sweet set of blades, but I only pull them out when I'm on fire. I bought some JPX 800's yesterday, they were miles ahead of anything else I tried (miles ahead for me, that is) I think, if you wanted to go to something like the JPX or the AP1, you might find that works for you. Jumping to an AP2 or an MP, you might find out quickly that you aren't ready, and for me, those aren't really clubs that you can "grow" into. Yes, the forged clubs, when hit well, will always feel the best. They're like butter. But catch it on the toe on a cool day, and you may wish you had something else.
