I bought the Chosera being I had planned on restoring razors. A few years later I ran across a deal I couldn't pass up that had the same stone in a lot of stones. So now I have two. I will never work my way through the I use but just encase I drop it or it breaks, I have a backup.

But as it's been said, Unless you plan on restoring or honing razors for years I think the SS is just fine. I've also got the glass stones and they do well too. I just cant make up my mind.
