I'm looking for a set of quality irons that will hopefully improve my consistancy in the fairways.

I have a very high ball flight, but a lower ball flight isn't necessary with my irons since I hit them a little further than I'd like. I hit my 4-iron as far as my 5-wood, and hit the PW ~135, which leaves a problem for shots under 115.
I usually hit the irons solidly, but have a moderate draw/hook on most shots.
I know that part of the problem is the regular flex shafts on my current set, since my swing requires a stiff flex.

I'm looking for game improvement, but I feel uncomfortable with a huge sole.
I was considering used Ping G2's, Callaway X-16's, Mizuno MX-17's, and Cleveland CG4's.
These all can be found around $300-400. Durability is very important to me, since I plan on keeping this next set for several years.
Of these, or any other irons in this range, which would fit my needs the best?

PS. I guess I should add that I'm left handed, and it can be hard to get my hands on some sets.

Any advice would be appreciated
I would demo the irons on the range. Look at these for game improvement for the price:

Nike Slingshots
Ben Hogan Apex Edge (Hit well, feel soft and look classy)
TM Rac OS
Nickent 3DX

You can also look at www.rankmark.com that rates clubs based upon Handicap.

From the clubs I have tried out, I would like to get the Nickent 3DX hybrid or the Callaway Fusion irons.
