This has been my meager understanding. I read about finishing on a Charnley with 200+ x-strokes. Few hundred laps on a black Ark. I have a Vermio, and don't think 30 laps would amount to much. In the time it would take to lather and shave test I could finish my 150 laps. But I'm never sure I'm not wasting time or steel. Figured I'd ask...
