Hi guys,
Currently I own SP320, 1K, 5K.
Also will soon receive the Atoma 140, but that will be mostly flattening/dressing.
I don't have any particularities for or against them stones. I must admit my favorite in terms of feedback is the 320, and that somehow neither the 1K nor the 5K I find particularly pleasing, although they can be used and will continue to be used.
Problem is this is all I know.
Say I'm ready to buy three other stones. It's not really a matter of buying "better" but different. I need to know if said difference I find works better for me.
For example SP2K seems to be a favorite, while my SP1K seems to be considered so and so. SP2K is definitely in my top choices. It could be Shapton Glass too, many people seem to like the coarser ones for many ops.
I'd prefer these to be more budget oriented, but I'm still eyeing things like Naniwa Green Brick and Rika 5K because I hear good things.
So let's say budget is max 75 CAD for coarse, max 120$ CAD for med, max 150$ CAD for polishing.
Please have at it, tell me what would be different enough, pleasing enough, that compared to my experience I should definitively want to try.
Thank you very much.
