In today's world of professional fitters, many specialize with certain companies. For example, I am a certified fitter for both Titleist and Ping. If you were in my area, I would be very comfortable custom fitting anybody with either. I would not feel comfortable fitting someone with Mizuno, as all companies specs are a little different, and I have no experience with them. I also wouldn't have Mizuno demos for you, and you would not be able to hit the various flavors.
I think most fitters are the same way. Someone who specializes in Mizuno may not be also certified with Titleist.
As others have mentioned, the most important part of buying new irons is being properly fit. If you have decided on Mizuno, a great choice, please be sure to find a fitter in your area who specializes with Mizuno equipment. You will be happy you did, and they will set you up with clubs that you will have a ton of confidence with.

You never identified what you do not like about your current set of clubs....
I am lefty too and ready to get into a more workable (less forgiving) club than I currently have (Cally x-12). I was fit by a great clubfitter a few years ago who determined that I hit my x-12s better than the 3 other options I had to choose from (bah! only 3 options for lefties)...ended up getting reshafted to tour concepts which made a good difference.
The choices for lefties are poor and you can rarely find a set to demo.
Mizuno seems to have alot to offer - I am eyeing the MP-53s. Either identify what you want to change (a reshaft may be the answer) or keep your current set and get another for trial and error. Of the other current lefty models that look possible (for me)...Miura cavity backs, Nike ProCombo or VR Split, Adams CB2. The Scratch EZ-1 and AR-1 look amazing but I don't think they are available in lefty.
Good luck

More good news: the Mizuno fitting cart does not shortchange the lefty! Whether you're looking for blades, game enhancement, or game improvement clubs, you'll find a ready offering of their most popular clubheads.
And, for those needing a bit of extra shaft length, a special version of these models keeps down the overall club weight. You do want to be able to finish the round!

I hear even some places have a lefty Mizuno shaft optimizer.

The 53's and 63's are as sweet and forgiving as any clubs I've ever played, and the 68's are certainly not hard to hit. I've been a big fan of Mizuno for a long time - GREAT clubs.
I cant see playing anything other than Mizuno irons. Cant kick my MP 32's outa my bag either. My Wilson Staffs lasted for 25 years, so maybe its me.
Drivers on the other hand need to be replaced as oft as Titleist makes a new one, I find. Not sure if its metal fatigue or what. Those guys have me addicted to those things worse than the Starbucks monkey I have on my back. The drivers are way cheaper than the coffee over a year too if you crunch the numbers.....
