If perfomance and light return are your objective, then it's not as strong as some contenders I've seen. It's the facets under the table are not likely to ASET out great. But, there is some potential there, it's not a total dog. I give it 50/50. If they can get you an ASET, I would get one. There is a chance it could come out well enough that, given the price, it's a good buy. If they do not offer an ASET on that stone, then... I would pass it up in favor of a more likely candidate as it would be too great a risk for me.

I agree with Gypsy's thoughts on that. It really needs an ASET.

I don't think this one will ASET well.
