hey paddy, did you see or consider this?
Classic Hand Tools Limited - Norton 8" x 3" Waterstones
the starter kit about 5 down. TBH i'd get the seperate 220/1000 combo and 4000/8000. I got the kit, great value for money but not convinced the lapping stone is better than a simple piece of 320 grit wet/dry and a glass plate.

I favor the Norton 4/8. Aside from it being a proven performer there is a large knowledge base on SRP of users who know the stone. Not sure how much difference in price between it and the alternatives.

not a huge amount given some of the stones paddy is talking about are single grits and a 220/1k combo is around £35 here. a 4k/8k is £70 odd.
