Choose the i230 for the same lofts for less, bought used, since PING now makes it only as fill-in or replacement clubs.
Choose the i240 for a whole set built to order.
The i240 replaced the i230 as PING's players iron, and both score 1 of 5. By PING's tables they share every loft (a 33° 7-iron), every lie and every offset (2.3 mm at the 7-iron); the i240's 4-, 5- and 6-irons are shorter, by 3/8, 1/4 and 1/8 inch, and its 8- and 9-iron have half a degree less bounce. PING gave the i240 a lighter cavity badge and fewer, wider grooves. Both are compact heads for good strikers and give less help on a mishit than PING's G-series irons.
PING's players iron before the i240: a compact head, 2.3 mm of offset and a 33° 7-iron, the same lofts and offsets as the i240's. Tungsten weights in the toe and tip add a little help on a mishit, but it is built for good strikers, and no set we score forgives less.
PING's compact players iron: a thin topline, 2.3 mm of offset and a 33° 7-iron. PING added some forgiveness behind the face, but it is built for good strikers, and no set we score forgives less.

Neither is PING's forgiving iron, and the i540 forgives a little more: it is a players' distance iron, 2 of 5 here, where the i240 is a compact players' iron, 1 of 5, the lowest of any set we score.
The G440 is the forgiving one: PING's game improvement iron, 3.5 of 5 here, against 1 of 5 for the i240, PING's compact players' iron with a shorter blade and a thin topline.
Both are compact PING irons of the same year, and both are now bought used: PING builds the i230 only as fill-in or replacement clubs and no longer sells the i525.
Two compact players irons with nearly the same lofts: a 33° 7-iron, a 45° PW and a 50° wedge in both, and the P770 half a degree stronger in the 4-, 5- and 6-irons.
