Is 1000 grit enough?

I made some sharpening blocks up today. 260 grit, 600 grit, and a 1000 grit. And i made a double side leather strop as well. I just need to order the green and black paste.

I cant seem to get that hair popping edge with my current setup. They are very sharp but not wicked sharp. Should i step up to some 2000 grit to finish off before hitting the leather? Or just wait till i can get some paste?

Sort of a newb so any advice is welcome. Thank you.
 
I just read the posts about the paper wheels. I am going to do that since it seems more like my cup of tea, so please disregard my previous post.
