Apex pro 19, 21 or X forged Cb?

[Tee1up4]

Looking to replace my set of Apex Pro 21. They have A LOT of miles on them. 
 

I’m a decent player. Hover around scratch. Curious if anyone has any thoughts comparing the 3 irons I mentioned in the title. Apex Pro 21 have been really good for me but I’m looking for something maybe slightly softer feeling without giving up the forgiveness(I’ve got 2 kids under 5 so I don’t practice anymore). I hit the 23 apex pro a couple times and the feel is offensively bad. 21 pro feel isn’t buttery but the performance negates it for me.

X forged Cb feels very nice. 
 

head size is around that T150 size. 
 

Not a razor thin sole, not far either though. As a scratch you would like these

The x forged. Feel better. Just as consistent. Probably a touch more forgiving too imo.

Apparently there's a bad fitting head in the new Apex Pro that was sent around; not saying that's why it felt so bad but could be.  Either way it would give me great hesitation to order those.  Haven't tried the new CB...

 

I've enjoyed the Mizuno Pro 223 coming from a combo set of Apex MB (2018 version) and Apex Pro (2019 version).

I played the X-Forged CB and really liked it.  It's not the explosiveness of the Pro 21 or Pro 19 (in the longer irons with the cup face), but the feel made up for that in spades.  This last year I move into the TCB, and honestly I would encourage you to give them a try.  I did not find any drop off in forgiveness from CB to TCB.  I am like you, two young kids, so no range time.  They will have a little extra spin in comparison to the CB, but when I bent them to the CB specs, felt like they performed better.
