I had thought of that, and I probably will, but for now the carborundum is working pretty well. From what I understand it's grit is in the 12k range it's just a bit on the small side.

Yes it is. When if first started out I had the Norton 4/8 and a Swaty. I used the Swaty as a finisher until I got a Shapton. I have a friend who uses the DMT 1200 along with the 8000 and he finishes on a Spyderco Ultra Fine. He says he likes it a lot. I never cared for the UF but apples and oranges. It works for him.
