After lots of window shopping I finally pulled the trigger some CGSW resin bonded diamond stones. I got their 40, and 20 micron stones for my KME. I've always used diamond plate stones before. This was my first time with resin bonded. Dressing the stones was a bit of trial and error, till I got them where I wanted, but it's easy enough to do. I like em a lot! Better feed back, and a less aggressive scratch pattern. They are now my two finishing stones. Quality seems top notch too. They're worth taking a look at if you're in the market. The dressing/flattening is what always scared me off. I don't think it's going to be much of an issue though.

You can use a Mr clean magic eraser. It will help the stone last longer and clean out the loading.
Right on. I have every flavor that they make for the EdgePro. I use them for almost all my sharpening needs. It's a rare occasion when I use anything else.
The diamonds are bonded in resin, so you can refresh them by lapping the stones. I’d say that the coarse stones are less aggressive than the Atoma 140, but the higher grit stones have a much finer scratch pattern than any diamond plate. If you go through the whole stone progression you’ll get a near-mirror finish.
