Haven't played any of those irons, so I can't give any feedback on those specifically. I played the MP-29's for about 4 years (with one re-finishing job) and loved em. From those I went to Ping S-59 Tours.... a close substitute looks-wise, but not quite the same "forged feel". I'm considering going back to the new Mizuno modified cut-muscle next year if I don't try to hang for another season with the Pings. I'm still partial to Mizuno's, regardless of the model.
Interestingly enough I had heard a lot about the PX shaft and happened to have a playing partner show up today with those in a 6.5 model (he had a set on loan that he got this week). I have DG-X100's in my Pings and like them, and my friend wanted me to hit his PX's on the range to get my input. He's played professional golf, primarily at the mini-tout level, and I'm a 0-2 handicap. I didn't care for the PX's at all, and he wasn't enamored with them either. They felt verrry stiff and provided little feel.
Keep it up boys. Good discussion so far. I have not kept up with the business end of what is happening but I've heard that True Temper now owns Royal Precision who made Rifle's and Project X's. Am I correct? If so, I wonder what they will do with those two product lines.

From what I have read over the Internet and through other sources this is correct. TT have bought over the property rights and possibly Royal Precision outright. The last report has said that they are going to have both lines running side by side and that they are going to start up the manufacturing of new stock of RP shafts soon.
