    Default Which stone for around 8k?

    Hi all,

    I am looking for a 2 3/8" x 7" honing stone and I need your help - mainly I am thinking around 8000, but I am open to suggestions for between 6000-120000.
    Important to me are, in order, keenness, maintenance, speed.
    Money, as always are an issue, my budget is limited to US$160 EUR150 GBP110
    To be honest, mainly I am leaning to towards one of these (in order):

    Sigma Power Ceramic 8000 (or 10k, which has the advantage of a huge sharpening surface - 140mm wide)
    MST Müller
    Imperia La Roccia
    Suehiro Gokumyo 10000
    Arkansas Translucent

    I am happily using for sharpening a 1000-2000-4000 sequence of Suzuki-Ya stones described here https://fabulalignarius.wordpress.com/tag/pm-v11-test/ which replaced a combination of Naniwa Chosera (sorry - too expensive their 10k) and Shapton Pro (which I MIGHT consider for their 8k or 12k).

    Thank you for your help.
