First, watch this to understand pros and cons of the top 2 sharpening systems on the market. These are the reference standard.

The reason the lansky cannot compare (dmt aligner suffers the same issue) is the holes the rods ride in allow for so much play it is neither repetitive nor precise. I understand you may think it is a good system, but you simply do not know what you do not know. I will put my money where my mouth is, if you'd care to compare. The lansky is fine if you simply want a comparable sharpness to what you get with a wheel or belt, but put your edge under a microscope (I do with every knife I sharpen).
Like all things we talk about in this forum - you get what you pay for, and the lansky is the bushmaster and the wicked edge/ edge pro are the colts and bcms. Will they both go bang? Yep, but if you need to do work you gonna grab that bushmaster?
