My stone from Maksim (Ozuku mizu asagi nashiji) was under $400 and came with a set of 3 asano naguras and a wakasa tomo nagura and produces an insanely sharp velvety edge. If i were to buy an escher that is 8X3, approx the size of my stone, or even a select grade coticule I'd be paying just about the same and I find this set up to be more versatile thanks to the naguras.
