Edge Pro Matrix and Venev Orion Comparison on S90V

I got a set of Venev Orion stones almost a year ago and have finally tried them out. I dressed them to even the thicknesses out to a useable amount as well as dressing most of my stones then broke them in so the comparison should be pretty accurate. I didn't come to any conclusions since I will be doing a few more tests on other knives, I am really curious how they will work on Maxamet so that will be next.

I like how aggressive the coarser Venevs are but they also do more damage to the blade, which takes longer to clean up with the finer stones. This is obvious in the microscope photos as I go through the different grits.
