Have Diamond Life hones gotten better?

The Diamond Life hone blocks that Harbor Freight sells have always been decent, though they needed broken in sometimes. By this I mean that some of the grits of hone needed to be used a bit to expose enough diamonds for the hone to "act its grit."

However, I just got my father one of the 4-sided Diamond Life hone blocks with the plastic base, and all four hones were perfect.

I'm just wondering if this one was a fluke, or if they are getting better in general?
 
i've had a diamond-life 4-sided stone for at least 3 years now and it has worked well for me. it's a good value IMO.
