Arkansas Stone is Great

So it sounds like Diamond is good for getting the edge, then the Arkansas Stone is good for finishing.

I have a Fine grit DMT Diamond Stone. What do you recommend I get for finishing? If I were to get a Fine Arkansas Stone, would the grit be finer or rougher than that of the Diamond? Is there an Extra Fine Arkansas Stone?
 
Here is a chart from Chad Ward's sharpening book showing comparisons of available grits

Wow, my diamond Fine stone is way up there? That's lame. I should have just gone with the Sharpmaker...
