If you end up finishing it on your Shapton, I don't think you'll detect much difference between the Coticule honed edge vs. any other. OTOH, if you intend to shave off of the Coticule edge you'll see a difference. Whether its an improvement from your 30k is something you'll have to find out. But I don't think I'd bother trying to fit it in between your 1k and 30K.
