The Chosera I read was excellent for someone that hones a lot but for occasional home use can dry out and crack.
I may be wrong, it's just the impresion I got from my reading. Anyway, I got the Naniwa 1K SS and I'm very happy with it.
I also have the 3K - 5K - 8K - 12K SS, I have the Norton 1K - 4K/8K too but love the Nani's because they're just splash and go,no muss no fuss.
