Di9 graphite irons long, but inconsistent

As an engineer, I was intrigued by the Di7 technology, and bought a set. They worked well. Then I read where the Di9 sets improved on the former technology, so I was one of the first to obtain a set. I even got the 3- and 4-irons from the Wilson Rep.
My set is the graphite-shafted set in a regular flex. The lofts are a half club stronger than many competing sets, and the geometry of the fat shaft and the clubhead reduced toe-height add additional distance. They truly are the longest irons I have played in my 45 years as a golfer.
However, the kick of the UST graphite shafts seem inconsistent. There can be a larger deviation in distance, and a larger diviation in azimuth (direction), than there should be in a quality set of irons. After all, irons are for hitting the green, not just hitting the ball far.
In spite of my yen for these to be my "go to" irons (we all want to hit the ball farther), the fact that they are just not as accurate is compelling enough for them to sit in my closet. If I was status conscious, then I would go with some Callaway products (e.g., Big Bertha 2004) that are a full club shorter but much more consistent in distance and accuracy. However, I found that Dynacraft made some weight adjustable Genesis irons that resembled the stronger lofts of the Wilson Di7 and Di9 irons, and those clubs assembled in my garage are the best set of irons I have ever enjoyed. I have them weighted to constant MOI rather than constant swingweight, and I believe that is the way modern clubmakers will be going.
