Summary: I bought these as a second set because these types of clubs (wide sole and oversized head) are known as the most forgiving irons.
After spending about 5 months on various different golf courses, I realized that this was the wrong purchase. FOr anyone that is serious about golf, I highly recommend getting the "Game Improvement" class or even a "Player's class".
For me, golf is 80% mental and 20% skill. When I look down on these fusion wide sole, I can't help but think how silly these irons look. The topline is way to thick and the oversized head feels like a hockey stick. Also, I feel that even as a beginner, you are doing yourself a disservice by getting these types of clubs (not just Fusion Wide Soles). Even though the face is larger, if you're not hitting it right, it's not going to go where you want. It will go far left or far right. You also won't get any feed back on your swing.
I decided to go for the Callaway x-forged and I feel much more confident at address with these types of clubs. EVen though they say it's for low handicappers, I feel that even high handicappers can benefit from non oversized clubs. Even though you will still hit like crap, at least you're not fooling yourself that a hockey stick will improve your game.

Summary: I high school and college I always played forged muscle back blades because I could and back then there wasn't much else to choose from. As I have gotten older I moved to forged cavity back blades, and as I have played less and less due to other priorities, I have thought about getting irons that were more forgiving so I didn't have to work so hard.
A fried of mine has a set of callaway fusion wide sole irons at his vacation home as a back up set and earlier this spring while I borrowed the house for my own family vacation I also borrowed the clubs for several rounds.
They are not a set I would normally look at but I was pleasantly surprised, they did make it a much different game then what I am used to, but I found these clubs to hit high, long, and very straight. I think they were 1/2 a club longer than my own.
Anyone who is looking to "work" the ball and thinks that these would be a good choice obviously has more dollars then sense, but if you are looking to hit hit higher straighter shots with less effort then these wouldn't be a bad choice.
After all if you are in the middle more times then not you don't have to curl your next shot around a tree.
With the cost of new I would rate the value very low but you can get a used set under $500.
Customer Service: Callaway customer service, along with Ping and Taylormade, have always been at the top.

Summary: ive got 3 sets of irons and the fusion irons feel like there dead. i have ping,taylormade xd,and powerbilt....they all feel lively or at least you can work them somewhat but theres no working these at all.after those i will never buy callaway again.....aside the fairway fusion woods and you cant beat them
Summary: I am not surprised they no longer make them. The clubs were not only expensive, but unworkable. I hit them straight and short. Lost 1 club length, and they are not at all playable. Almost impossible to draw or fade. I traded them in after a 1/2 season.
