I am experimenting with a new M-Power Sharpening System which uses diamond stones for sharpening chisels and hand plane blades. It actually seems to work quite well for a beginner like me. However, one of the limitations of the system is that the finest diamond stone available is 600 grit. In case you are interested, the system is described at:

I am considering buying a strop or a buffing wheel to further sharpen the edge. But, I have never used either.
I am hoping that some of you sharpening pro's could give me some advice. What are the pro's and con's of each? I notice in the catalogues that there are a number of options for each. Which is the best for this application?
