I just got a Veritas MKII and a DMT Duosharp fine/x-fine stone today and I am very happy with the results. I had been hand stoning my plane and shave irons by hand on 2x6 inch natural stones but wasn't doing to great with them. The DMT "stones" are 4x10 inches and give you a ton of room to work. The Veritas MKII has a new angle finding fence on it that really sets the iron up perfectly. If anyone is in the market for a sharpening system, I would give this some thought. The bigger DMTs are a bit expensive at $120, but they stay flat all the time and won't need to be dressed like a waterstone.
