As to the original question, forgo the 12k and get the Shapton 16k. I've personally found a slight improvement off of the 16k. Which reminds me...I promised to do a writeup... I'll get on it after I post pics of the results of one of the experiments I've been conducting this summer.

The shapton 16k and 30k are stones I would consider purchasing but not had any luck finding a UK or euro vendor. Shipping from US is a strain on the pocket.
