I use a 600 DMT for all bevel restores and getting rid of damage, followed by a 1200 DMT followed by a 1k chosera - after this all the marks from the DMT are gone.
As for using the perforated ones - I wouldn't even consider it - they seem less than flat in the first place, and I can imagine they would chip/mar the edge.
I recently got a few Atoma diamond plates for lapping and tried honing a junker blade on one of them - it felt truly horrific due to the spread pattern of the diamond particles.
Regards,
Neil
