New iron set. Get the gap wedge or from the set or a new dedicated wedge?

General Discussion

I am planning on getting fitted for a new set of irons in the coming months. Currently gaming 20 year old irons and wedges that go pitching wedge and then a 52* Vokey.

Considering that I will be looking more at the players distance or game improvement category for irons, would it be better to just get the gap wedge that comes from the set or a new 50*or 52* wedge?

My 52 is primarily used for full swings or bump and runs so nothing fancy. I was thinking the gap wedge may make more sense because of that so I can keep the same feel and forgiveness on those full swing shots.
