Grepper, I use the 80u CBN like I would use a 220 grit belt. Basically as a setup for finishing, one application of CBN lasts at least twice as long as a regular 220 grit belt, while leaving a cleaner edge.
I can do without the huge swing in performance from a new belt to a dead belt. The CBN works much more consistently. It's not a huge difference, but even a slight gain is nice when you're sharpening your butt off.
I like to experiment, and I'm not afraid to take chances. While it seems like the world is stuck on ridiculously fine compounds, nobody knows how super coarse compound works.
I figure it's worth the price of admission, but I don't expect anyone else to try it.
