Have heard/read nothing about inconsistencies with ZG's. I suspect they get roughly 10x the QC than any PHIG.
I have heard from a few people who got meh results, quite a few that found it okay, but nothing really special. Many are very enthusiastic, but you tend to hear those more than people who are not 100% satisfied or impressed in general anyway, and not just for razor finishing hones. I haven't tried, so I won't pass judgement on the stone's properties, apart from that 'apparently they tend to vary a bit'.

From what I've heard they are finishers only, being already quite slow at that.
