I think you have this right. Much depends on the tone you're after and the style you play. I tend to lean towards the "one trick pony" side of things. After playing a few, my first reaction (after being amazed at how light they are) was they're so darned cute. Great for light blues and ragtime. Haven't had the chance to explore what else they might be appropriate for.
But they are so easy and fun to play, I occasionally think of getting one, before Collings stopped making them, and they became so tough to find and relatively expensive.
Like you, I haven't played an Iris and am really curious about them.
