Best angle for cruwear?

So I recently acquired a cruwear Manix 2. While it is not too blunt, I know it could be a lot sharper. Right now it is about 20 or 25 degrees per side. I was thinking of taking it down to about 15 degrees per side. Does anyone have any experience with this steel, and if so what do you find to be the best angle?
 
I have mine at 30 degree inclusive with a 40 degree micro bevel. It's a tough steel, so don't worry about it chipping or anything. It sharpens up very easily too, after a few swipes on my sharp maker fine stones and stropping on a piece of leather with white strop compound, it cuts like a laser.

I really wish there were more knives with cruwear!
 
Thanks a lot. Just finished it up. I have a work sharp so instead of a microbevel I held the knife.to it at 15 but pushed in so the bottom would be about 20
