Randy, you find that the chinese has enough of an edge on the escher to warrant this progression?

I'm surprised. I have a chinese but I rarely use it; I think of it as a good (if slower) equivalent to the Y/G, and a nice big backup if God forbid I ever break the escher. But the edges I get from it don't seem any finer, and certainly not enough to warrant progressing.

But I tend to take your honing advice as gospel – it has yet to fail me – so maybe I need to play with the chinese more.
