Out of interest, did you compare them side by side or is this more of an impression of their relative performances? How does the food release compare? Is the thinness behind the edge similar?I've used both in 210. Both are high performance cutters, but my subjective impression (based on the specific samples that I own) is that the itinomonn has a more durable, daily driver feel, whereas the gengetsu has a more weekend sportscar feel. Sorry to resort to such nonspecific metaphor but that's my impression! Might just be the 210s as well - could be the opposite in 240.
Prior to the recent itinomonn price hike, I would have advised starting with the itinomonn. It was substantially cheaper but close in performance. But with the recent price hike, I say choose whichever one speaks to you more. Both are likely to find buyers here on BST so I wouldn't worry too much if you eventually decide you'd rather try the other. Or heck, get both out the gate while they're still in stock, find a way to get to 50 quality posts or request special dispensation, and then list whichever one you don't prefer on BST
