Had a go with the Lansky system yesterday (thanks @Tenderloin )
Easier to use then I would have guessed from watching the video. Stones are quite aggressive; I started with medium stone and got a good burr a lot quicker than when using a water stone.
Tried it on an old favourite knife, which is a cheap Sainsbury's thing. It quickly showed where I wasn't getting quite the right angle when hand sharpening. Got the knife pretty sharp in about 10 mins, and then cleaned it up a bit on a strop.
So all good. Wouldn't be quite as confident to tackle an expensive 240mm knife with it though.
