This seems to be coming more clear in that one must learn the complete skill, even if not planning on starting from scratch often to be successful at the finish/touch up stage.
Agree/disagree?
Also, if the 1k stone isn't going to be used much, should I invest in the chosera or save some $$ and go with the 1 or 2k SS?
