Yes, the diamond hones have a very long lifespan. I think we shorten them by lapping, but doubt if we shorten them by any sort of honing we do. Maybe if we honed axes with them we'd notice a difference.
JSmith has a good idea. You can also speed slurrying by using your slurry stone on one of its corners, instead of on a flat face. And your idea with your DMT1200 is good, but I wouldn't do it with my own. Let us know if you notice any decrement to the 1200 after a while. Maybe I'm crazy."These aren't the droids you're looking for." "These aren't the droids we're looking for." "He can go about his business." "You can go about your business."

I've always used my DMT325 for both lapping and creating slurry (ala Glen) and it's worked out OK for me YMMV
Hang on and enjoy the ride...
