Looking forward to seeing what you've got going on this time!

Funny that you bring this up, 'cause since I visited back in Late April, I've been thinking about the diamond 1K+6K combo a lot. These stones are very appealing to me - I want to get into a 2-stone progression, splash-n-go, slow-to-no dishing, infrequent flattening, fast cutting, low maintenance, etc. I'm just balking at the price right now...
Also very interested in one of the courser grit diamond stones.
Question - does the 1K+6K combo come with a flattening device?
I think this is a pretty rad deal.
If you look at what people pay for other high end stones (natural or synthetic), or even knives, I definitely feel like you'd be getting your money's worth.
It sounds like Shapton Glass Stones are the closest comparison. An equivalent set of those would cost you about half this - and it sounds like these diamond stones are much longer lasting, never need to be flattened, more durable, and quicker cutting. I'm interested in how the feel/feedback compares.
It might be a silly question but what is the function of a nagura with these stones? Is it a synthetic grit to help with feedback/speed or is it to "clean" the stones themselves?
