Thanks for the reply. What other stones have you really liked in the past?

Well I really like the Norton 4k/8k single grits that I've had for many moons. I'm liking the Chosera 1,3,5 and 10k, and they threaten to keep the Nortons in the cabinet. I've had the Naniwa super stones, the Shapton pros, a variety of naturals.

There are some coticules that I like, and others not so much. I've only had one J-nat, a Nakayama Asagi that come from So Yamashita, and was an excellent stone at a medium price point.

I've had a number of Eschers come and go, some stayed, and I never met one of those I didn't like. Some of the stones, particularly naturals, make me wonder, when I'm not getting the results I'm after, is it me or the stone ?

I have a Blue/Green Escher and a Zulu Grey. Since I purchased the Gokumyo 20K, those two stones haven't even seen water. I can do 10-20 laps on the Gokumyo and be good to go after the 12K Naniwa. The Zulu Grey seemed to take forever and with little result. The Escher was very nice, and probably as good as the Gokumyo, but the big Gokumyo is a treat to use.
