The only benefits the Atoma offers is:

1. Consistent flatness for their low cost.
2. A surface that doesn't stick easily to the stone you lap.
3. An easily replaced lapping surface when the time...

Flatten your 20k with the Atoma & it will be broken in when you finish. If you're worried by the appearance of scratches I think a worn dmt gives a smoother looking finish.
