It is interesting that you say it is harder to hit the sweet spot with a longer club. This past week I was visiting a club in New York to help sell some golf clubs and teach. One gentleman I worked with is a retired golf professional and he just watched me for the first day. Toward the end of the day we started talking and he asked for my help. I asked what he was trying to achieve in his swing and he told me. Anyway after 15 minutes he was amazed and confused. He was hitting the ball longer, higher, and straighter than ever before. What confused him was that the 39.5" 57 degree (standard effective lie angle) was far superior to his 38.5" 59 degree (standard effect lie angle). The longer club looked as though he had only hit 1 ball on the face tape yet he had actually hit 5!!! The shorter club had marks from the center to the toe. We all need to be careful with stereo-types in fitting.
