Not saying your wrong, but for me anyway thats the way I find it. Regarding diamond plate slurry, your slurry to start is the same as the slurry to finish as opposed to using naguras that create grit in a progression on your finishing stone. Its a learning curve alright! I will say that for sure! I look at it like propane grills vs charcoal. Both can cook a steak fine, but the charcoal can add alot to it that you cant get from propane or natural gas. Ok I know, enough Bill! Im done ranting. LOL.
