I played both those sets with KTMs in the Eye 2+ and ZZ-65s in the ISI-Ks. I purchased both sets on ebay, first the ISI-Ks and then the Eye 2+s. My index is about the same as yours. Here are my own observations:

 

The ISI-Ks are a bit more forgiving and a bit longer (stronger lofts) than the Eye 2+. The Eye 2+s feel better, can be worked more easily, and are more accurate. I also liked the thicker sole of the Eye 2+. The ISI-Ks seemed to dig a bit easier so I hit more fat shots with them than with the Eye 2+. The Eye 2+s were great out the sand.

 

I moved on from both sets to G5 irons. I let a buddy with a similar handicap use both sets and he had the same experience. Both are great sets, but I would recommend the Eye 2+.

Which do you recommend between the G5 and Eye2+? Can you work the G5?

I always thought the ISI K's were too large and felt harsh compared to the ISI S's. Based on the 2 set's you have to choose from, I would pick the Eye2+'s hands-down as the design is one that's classic and still works well today. The lofts on the + models aren't that far off what's out there today as compared to the original Eye2's and they're both forgiving and somewhat workable at the same time.

I prefer the G5 to the Eye 2+. Clearly with a handi of 18, I need some help from my irons and the G5s provide it. However, they feel very solid and one can work the ball a bit. For me, they are easier to hit a little draw than a controlled fade (though I can slice them if I try ;). They have a good deal of offset, but so does the Eye 2+. To my eye, the offset doesn't look as pronounced on the G5 because the head is larger than the Eye 2+.

 

I had been looking at irons to replace my Eye 2+ set. I thought the G5s were too big and hadn't really given them a chance. After receiving some great advice on this forum and playing with a couple of low-single-digit players who were using G5s and Raptures, I decided to give them a good look. I got fitted, got a great deal on ebay, and I am very pleased with the G5s. You often hear the term "inspires confidence" applied to variouse GI irons. For me, this is so true with the G5. They just perform. Also, they have come down in price since the release of the G10s.
