I am just now discovering this Hapstone sharpener! Looks better than the TSProf because I still don't understand the difference between models they list.
The Hapstone uses APEX STONES???? Dude, I think this is it for me! THANK YOU!

It takes reading comprehension skills. Not that terribly hard to understand. With the great invention of the internet, By Al Gore, mankind was initially expected to become more intelligent. The opposite has happened.
 
Edge Pro allows the user to move the blade on the table during the sharpening process to either follow existing bevels and/or create new specific to user wishes. To some this may be difficult as they maybe just want a sharp knife without thinking about how the primary, secondary, tertiary, etc. bevels, flat, belly, tip, etc. relate to each other. But, to others allows much greater control to be able to produce specifically the geometry they want while watching it happen in a bevel up orientation.

Edge Pro also now offers a magnet option that can be attached/inserted to table, with a push/pull on/off functionality for those interested.

I mounted neodymium magnet to my table years ago, for a while, but found I did not like results for typical sharpening sessions (magnet collects metal swarth and transfers magnetism to blade - potential long term metallic collection into pivot assembly). Sometimes I clamp a knife to table for parts of sharpening, but mostly prefer free-handing blade position relative to the table.
