I'm in a similar boat as you. For the past couple of years, I've really enjoyed a 1k/3k Suehiro combo leading up to a coticule, or analogous natural stone. Although I love the 1k/3k Suehiro in general, a continual problem has been that it takes forever to dry out after soaking; and when I'm on the road, this can pose a problem. As a result, I too was looking for a splash and go stone, and as a replacement, I recently ordered 1.5k and 5k Shapton pros, prior to reading this thread. My plan is to cut them down as I like to hand-hold my stones. Less real estate can be good in some instances. Here's to hoping we both have found a solution!
