Rob,

I don’t know if this is a concern or not, but I just recieved my EZE Lap plates today, I ordered them from Amazon. They averaged $18 less than other retailers, for a total savings of over $50 over the three. After just a bit of wear in (the Super Fine had a “bump” where what almost looked like a small piece of welding splatter protruded up from the plate through the diamond coating, hard to describe but it left a heck of a scratch on the back of the blade until I got it knocked off) they seem to work great.
