I have owned a Lansky for near on 15 years now and just recently upgraded to an edgepro. I found the Lansky clamp uncomfortable in the hands after a while. Another issue with the Lansky is that the cutting angle is not consistent across the length of the blade. The edgepro stones are true wet stones (as opposed to oiled) and have 4x the surface area, meaning you can do a knife in 1/4 of the time (in theory anyway).
Most importantly though, when you take a knife to a specific grit size on both of these sharpeners, the knife done by the edgepro is noticeably finer and can be taken a deal further (to light sabre territory) if you are prepared to go through the polishing tape stages. There is a level of sharpness you can attain with the edgepro that you simply cannot approach with the Lansky irrespective of the amount of time you spend.
if you are a knife nutter then the edgepro is something worth considering.
