Contemplating a new budget friendly iron set

As the title suggests I'm pondering a new iron set, I will open this by saying I enjoy the game of golf and I also enjoy value and not wanting to break the bank! I appreciate the large name brands out there but some of the price points are too high for me. I did game some old Callaway X Tour irons that I got used but would like to purchase my own first set of "new" irons. I am intrigued by the smaller budget and DTC brands and narrowed it down to some iron sets I am thinking about.

Has anyone bought and tried out the refresh of Maltby's STi2?

I am a high handicapper and I am contemplating a few different iron sets

Takomo 101 - Look clean

Maltby sti2 - Look clean, nice CB design

Orlimar Intercept One length - Never gamed one lengths before but wondering if that would help using the same swing for each iron?

Pinemeadow PXG One Length irons

Lazrus LAZ2 Irons - Are the regular irons any good, I know they got tons of hype for their wedges and hybrid irons but what about their standard irons?

If there are any other low budget brands or clones you think I should check out feel free to drop them below, cheers.
