I've been following all this talk about Shaptons/Sigmas & am very curious about getting some to use before my Oozuku. Wouldn't happen until after I get a new job, but I'm doing research in advance.

I'm thinking 500 (for serious bevel work if needed), 1,4,8, Oozuku (it's a fast cutter & I want to give the slurry a chance to break down--if I keep it really light & work it I actually get an almost mirror finish off of broken down slurry before I even go to water). I was poking around So's site & noticed he recommends 1,2,6 before the Jnat. Any ideas why? Allowing for longer slurry breakdown maybe?
