I actually just ordered them . I think I’ll use the 6 micron diamond film after the 1500 grit stones, once they are broken in. 1500 grit should be equivalent to slightly more than 3 microns, so 3 micron should work if you follow the grit-size-only logic. However, different abrasives work differently (stones may be more irregular or make deeper scratches – a similar thing applies when moving from stones to strops), so it’s usually good to take a step back.
