Thanks Peter,
Yes, some people may not appreciate that the heat generated during the polishing/figuring process adds to the unpredictability of the result.
I also expect to end up with fewer scratches on the finished surface because of the harder material. My office, where the polishing machine is located, is not exactly a NASA clean room. I even stop polishing on windy days.
