Michael-
for speed, you might try the Worksharp. It's a lot less messy, and can put a quick hone on a chisel or plane blade. Or, you can use it like many do for regrinding and use yr finer stones for honing. I think it's a great compliment to yr arsenal. I would advise, though, that you build a little stand next to it so you can sharpen above the table, instead of using that underside port.
I'm no moderator, but I am a little disappointed at the nitpicking going on here. The thing I've liked about SMC is the generous advice without a lot of color commentary (read, personal attacks) that I find on some forums.
