I dissagree...

I've had about 12 different coticule stones in the past year and the ones I all sold off were standard grade, my 8X3 Select LPB is my best coticule by far as it is most gentle on my edges.

I honestly don't see how it wouldn't make a diffierent using a surface that may have inclusions in it compared to one that doesn't. Also why would there be such a big price difference in the two grades if it didn't matter, just for looks? I doubt Ardennes is prices just based on looks when using two grades...
