A better dining analogy would be to say that a barber hone is specifically designed to do exactly the job you're trying to do, while not one of the other options you've considered is created with that purpose in mind. So the question becomes, if you want a burger, do you go to a burger joint or do you go to a Chinese restaurant and order a burger off the kids menu?
Finishing and touch-up are two COMPLETELY different things. Finishing is the process of polishing out the final honing scratches, while touching up is taking an edge that is no longer shaving correctly and bringing it back into line.
I wouldn't touch up my razor on a finishing hone, and I wouldn't finish a razor on a barber hone.
I won't keep beating a dead horse, so my last comment is this: decide what job you want to do, and get the right tool for it. If you want a finisher, get a finisher. If you want a touch-up, get a barber hone. It's what they are made for.
Whichever way you go, enjoy.
