This is good to know. My limited experience has been similar. Before getting a 6 x 2 DMT 1200 (after reading most of Heavyduty's posts on the importance of initial bevel setting - I have to say this has got to be the best $20 I have spent!), I had started on a few slightly dull razors with only the D8EE. While capable of doing so, it also wore off more of the spine than I'd like in the process. I may be wrong, but I think the 1200 preferencially cuts the softer, thinner edge faster and I get a great bevel with much fewer strokes and much less spine wear.
Thanks. This pretty much answers my question. I don't mind the less finished edge, since I finish on a Spyderco UF most of the time.
