We're in the same boat. I hit 8i around 155 or so. I currently play Burner 2.0's with PX 6.0 Flighted. While I did see some distance gain with these irons, The shot is more of a "boring" trajectory, which holds its line well, especially in the wind. With the added distance, I now carry 5-AW (50 deg) and a 52, 56 and 60 in wedges. Gives me more options in the 150 and in range which is where I hit the most shots.

I was going to reply, but this is almost my exact same setup. I just hit a touch further 160-165 8i. It's nice being able to hit wedges and 9i anywhere within 150 and in. GI help you on mishits, that's where they shine. Not just to make you hit further.
