Image on left is full-blown short irons. Image on right is basically an upgrade of my streamlined short irons. Been playing 46-10F, 54-10S, 60-14K and PM Grind 64/10 with loft spacing of 46-52-58-64 for quite some time. I now fare better with the 54-10S at 53*. The T100S 9 iron loft is 39*. Played 716CB 7 iron (32*) and 716MB 8 iron (39*) before. 58-12D and 60-06K in pic on left (58*) for Torrey Pines, etc. the 695MB lofts are 38-42.

My yardages are almost identical to yours, but my set up is as follows: PW 46* (125 stock) , GW 50* (115 stock), SW 54* (90 stock) , LW 58* (75 stock). I use my 54* almost exclusively around the green and for full shots up to 90 yards. The 58* only gets used when I have to get up in a hurry or flop it - maybe twice per round. I had a 60* as well at the beginning of the year, but found that I could do everything with the 58 and sold it to a buddy. I also hardly use my 54 and 58 for full swings; if I need to hit a 90 yard shot I'll take my 50* or my PW and choke down or open them up a little - I have a hard time not blading the short shafts. I've gotten pretty good with the 54 and use it for a variety of shots and yardages. I picked up the 50 last year off the shelf and didn't pay attention to the shaft weight - it's a 120g whereas everything else in the bag is 105, so it feels like swinging a telephone pole. I kind of it hate it and can't wait to dump it next year when I replace all my wedges after getting properly fit. I guess I'd advise this - find what works for you! The 4* offsets work pretty well for me (until they don't) and give me pretty good gapping. I haven't been fitted for wedges and have played with various lofts over the last couple of years to settle into this set up. Ideally, you go get fit - if not, play around and see what best suits your game.

I put the lofts back to stock on the 60-14K and 60-04T. They actually perform much better. The image below is my carry bag. In place of the 60-14K and 60-04T I use a 60-06K. My iron lofts are 39-46-53-60-64. I had been using a loft of 52* for S grind for a year and a half.
