Looks pretty good to me.

I'm currently using a Japanese Combination Waterstone, which is cool, but could do with something a with a bit more "bite" to it now and then

Thats the puppy.

I quite like the fact the different grits are on 4 sides of a block that you take out of the stand and rotate. Its quite agressive at those grits but good for tidying up a chipped blade etc.
