I have a black. Very slow, too keen for my liking. If u like doing 1000 laps on a finisher, and like your edges blistering sharp....it's made for u.

Color means next to nothing Density means more
Both a very capable finishers although slow, as Outback mentions MANY laps. For a beginner the more laps you do the more chances to miscue on one and wreck all your previous work
The real difference is in the dressing and burnishing that you do..
That being said, Translucents are better looking

I love the surgical blacks from Dan's. Very consistent and great stones. Would try to get a 3 inch wide if it was in the budget, but 2 inch is good too. If I were getting a translucent I would look for vintage. Both will perform roughly the same.
