I need a set of Ping G10s

Ahh... My first thread. I just found this forum today and I have really enjoyed reading through most of the threads, but I couldn't find much on the PING G10s so I need some advice.
I discovered the G10s at my pro shop and took a demo out last week and hit about 70 balls on the range with it this week (they probably wouldn't like hearing that, but if I'm going to spend $800 on a set of clubs i want to be sure ya know). My shots were like night and day when compared to my grandfathers 10-15 year old oversized Dunlop graphite irons (ha who would have guessed). I'm 22, so naturally my friends all give me hell about my senior irons.
Anyway, I can hit the G10s consistently straight and place my shots with a fade, but I cannot put draw on them to save my life, none. I know they are heavily toe-weighted and thus not as workable as say the i10s or S58s. I do understand that putting draw on a swing is very difficult, but does anyone else have enough experience with these irons to tell me that i'll eventually be able to draw my shots with them?
Next question: I have seen the difference in the resale value of the Black Dot Ping Eye 2s in comparison with other lengths and lofts, so I would like to buy the Black Dot G10s (which is what I was swinging). Is it a bad idea to insist on the standard irons if Edwinn Watts recomends a different setup for me?
Also, does anyone know anything about the different grips that PING offers and what the advantages of each would be (I know nothing about this topic except that I really like the Lamkin grip on my PW)?
