Diamonds may cut steel a bit differently than AO for example, but how much difference could that really make? For all intents and practical purposes I would think that finished sharpness and bevel angle would be of much greater consequence.
Maybe I’m just lazy, but I’ve come to worry less and less about tiny differences in edges because I know in real-world use I wouldn’t even notice any difference. As I blunder through chopping some carrots or onions would I even notice if some edge stayed, say, 10% sharper? For me at least, the answer is no.
I’ve gotten to the where now I sharpen general use knives to somewhere around 125-200, call it good enough, and use the knife. When it get’s dull enough that I care I’ll sharpen it again.
But that’s just lazy me and my requirements for an edge. I’m sure that there are applications where minute differences require more attention
