ok, still haven't worn out a waterstone, but...

>I managed to turn my polishing stone into raw materials for ~four slips by dropping it, and am in the market for a replacement.
I was pretty happy with my old one, which was a "regular" artificial gold stone, but are there any comments on ceramic polishing stones? Is the main difference the hardness and length of time between flattening, or do ceramic-binder stones cut any quicker? I've never had an issue with flattening stones in general (and don't want to pour gasoline on that one again), but am wondering about any other differences people have noted and where there are preferences one way or the other. The tools I use are regular western carbon steel and hard A2; no Japanese laminates at this point.
Thanks in advance!
