Blades versus Cavity backs...oh no

I traded my taylormade lt irons for a set of taylormade muscle back rac blades yesterday. I went and played a round and I really like them. If I miss hit the shot, I get instant feedback. It seems to help me slow my tempo down and focus on swinging with my hips. The distance loss is only about 6 yards, and I think that as I get better and find the sweetspot more...I will get that six yards back. I did hit all my par three greens in one yesterday, but only made par on all of them... I had a horrible time putting yesterday. I think my putting has suffered because the bulk of my focus has been on chipping on up...putting was typically the strongest part of my game...I feel like it will come back soon.
The blades are great, all it takes is one shot just a touch off center to slow me back down and make me focus on clearing my hips, finding my center, and releasing through impact. The cavity backs never punished me, and I would constantly "swing for the fences".
