You are absolutely right.
The artisan approach would be far more satisfying. Sometimes (at least for me) deskilling and hitting the same results makes sense. I don’t want great results in one discipline, but as many as I can.
If I want to run at 25mph I get on a bike. Kind of the same thing.
(Also for disclosure, I bought it very lightly used for a lot less than retail from a custom knife maker friend who upgraded to a full station).

Randomly browsing I came across this thread for how to mod them https://knife.wickededgeusa.com/forums/topic/mods-lets-see-em/page/18/ including a link to this post with a good summary, including how to get it to work with large chef's knives an SAKs: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/wicked-edge-gen-3-pro-shortcomings-and-solutions.472849/

That is what all the sharpeners do that mean that the get the same results everytime.
Then looking at the quality of the stones.

How hard is it to learn to use it? And do you still need to be a bit of an expert about choosing the correct angle, and identifying different grinds? Or does the kit make all of that stuff easy? I worry that even if I had your kit I would still do it wrong and perhaps ruin things.

Such a lot of money though. How does it compare with a course and a pair of stones?
