I just heard the same rumor

Methinks my Hunting / Fishing Partner will be happy that I will now stop snitching his all the time...

I wasn't quite ready to take the plunge with the Chef's Choice price tag but the pull through devices didn't give me a sharp enough edge for what I wanted so I did a little research and purchased this unit http://lansky.com/index.php/products/dlx-5-stone-system/
The positives are the cost. At about $50 it was an easy to swallow upgrade. The Lansky system puts an edge on a knife just as good as the Chef's Choice. I can shave with a knife after a good polish.
The downside of this system is the time it takes to sharpen a knife and it takes a little skill to figure out the process. A tune up takes about 2-3 minutes and a fairly dull or beat up knife can be 10 minutes or longer. I'm guessing it's about 1/5th the speed of the Chef's Choice.
Overall I'm satisfied with the Lansky system and would recommend it for someone willing to figure it out and get a spend some time on their knives getting them sharp. I still might upgrade to the Chef's Choice some day once I'm ready to jump on the bandwagon.
