Interesting we've ended up at the opposite end of things, as I microbevel pretty much all my knives. Either a coarse or medium stone to set the edge, typically at 12 DPS (degrees per side), then whatever finishing grit I want at 15 DPS. I don't do any additional steps, I just add it at whatever my last grit is. Some people like to polish the whole bevel, and occasionally I will to, but mostly the edge bevel is coarse or medium and only the microbevel goes any finer. This saves time and wear on the finer stones.
