That's a big plus one.

Why would a nakayama be preferable to a 30k shapton?

Basing this on Shapton Professional 30k versus my approx 3" x 5" Nakayama Maruichi...

1. Nakayamas are cheaper than shaptons
2. Nakayamas are harder (I prefer this, as do many others)
3. Nakayamas are more versatile (slurry, no slurry, dry)
4. Nakayamas smell nice
5. Nakayamas are each unique and one of a kind.

On the other hand...
6. A Nakayama of the same size as a Shapton would be very expensive and hard to find. (not that you need a 8" x 3"
7. Shaptons are easier to find/get (from what I can tell anyways)
