As with everything there's a cost / time analysis, so that will make a difference. A couple years ago I bought the Kadet by TSPROF and it's a fantastic sharpener. That being said it's a bit pricey, and it does require a decent amount of setup + elbow grease. My knives come out extremely sharp, but I rarely sharpen them because it's time consuming.

I saw a good video by a knife maker on YouTube who reviewd the new WorkSharp Professional Precision Sharpening System. It's similiar to the TSPROF system I have, but it's much quicker to setup, and the results look just as good. The price is better as well.

I had the Ken Onion Work Sharp and overall that's probably the "best of both worlds" in terms of cost + convenience. I could sharpen my entire knife set in about an hour (7 knives), and they would end up extremely sharp. I think my TSPROF gets a better edge, but again...the time and inconvenience mean I rarely use it.
