Well after months of research, I have to make a choice this weekend.
I need some help selecting between two stones. I would appreciate your thoughts and reasons for choosing one over the other. If they are essentially a wash (as they appear to be to me) my prefernece would be to go with the B&M dealer since I am working on a tight timeline. Thanks you so much for your assistance.
