I don't want to start some "Coti War" here, but even if that is the "best" coticule brand, the issue still remains for me that you are talking about something I would consider a pre polishing stone.

I guess I am perhaps missing something with regards coticules in general - I've had a few but by no means very many - perhaps I am just ignorant of the kinds of edges they can produce. But as it sits at the moment, whenever I read anything about coticules as a final finisher I just think of that old fairy tale: The Emperor's New Clothes.
