King Whestones, are they worth it?

Thinking of purchasing a 1000/6000 grit King combo whestone. It's on Amazon.com for $55.

Just asking if anyone has one or would recommend it, if not what would you get for around $60. Thanks.

Normally depends on what kind of steels your gonna sharpen and the kind of edge you want. King waterstones aren't very good for high wear super steels. For them, I'd pick up some diamond stones. Also, I'd look around for a better deal, king stones are normally $30-$40.
