  I still have both the bladez and the R11's in my bag. As much as i liked the bladez i have to say i really like the r11's. Everyone is different i prefer R11s myself.

  I have not used the Bladz but I had the Burners (same yardage, faster meter), well into legend and the touch more forgiveness on R11s is what you pay for..like Jeff alluded to, the R11s are just that bit better and the 3i is worth the upgrade alone I think.

  I believe I made level 90 right before the last free rental weekend, so I was lucky enough to be able to rent the R11 iron set without having to pay for the privilege. Before then I used the G20 irons. I also rented the R11 driver & 3 wood, and a couple putters. The irons were the only clubs I ended up purchasing after the free rental. In fact, I don't believe I even waited until the weekend was over, I liked them that much.

  I'm not sure how much they cost to rent normally, and no one knows when the next free rental period will be (so they say), but I would at least give them a try if you have the opportunity.

  I just got them last week and although I haven't played a lot since then, I would highly recommend them.  A bit faster meter than you may be used to but nothing you can't handle IMO...

  I also used the level 79 rocketbladez  and they are great but the R11's are more accurate and better spacing between irons. If credits allow, I wouldn't hesitate in getting them..

  I still have my level 79 rocketbladez and the old level 79's and the G20's level 59 and 83... ( I'm a bit reluctant to part with whatever I've bought.. )..but I'll stick with my R11's for a long time to come...

   The main thing is the meter speed. If you can handle the faster meter speed of the R11 irons it is a no brainer. The R11 3 -4 nd 5 iron alone  make it worth the price. They are longer and stop much better than the Bladez. And with in between club shots you can drop down 1 and add t/s and get great results. The bladez as good as they are don't perform particularly well with added T/S. I bought the Bladez the day they were released because at the time I was having some trouble hitting the meter on the R11's but after a few weeks I had to go back to the R11's. And the longer wedge distance messed up my wedge gaps.
