I'm a sharpening hobbyist too, and also own & use diamond stones (DMT), diamond rods (DMT), ceramic rods, Japanese water stones, the Lansky kits, and the Apex Edge Pro kits. For me, the Apex kit (applied patiently!) gives the closest approximation of a perfect & polished edge.
But in the kitchen I use and love a Chef's Choice "1520 Angle Select" motorized sharpener. It produces a wonderfully sharp (paper test, shave test) edge, either at 15 degrees for Japanese knives, or 20 degrees for German / American knives. It's fast, damn fast: 20 seconds from miserably dull to ninja sharp. The calm, relaxed, 5 minute manual sharpening process is, for me, incompatible with cooking. I prefer to run the knife thru the Chef's Choice and get on with the job ... which probably includes chopping & mincing, activities that dull an edge rather quickly.
Put a Mac knife or a Shun knife thru the Chef's Choice 1520 (at 15 degrees) and slice a tomato: you'll experience scalpel bliss. And, oh by the way, the 1520 can sharpen single bevel Japanese sushi knives ("Yanagi") too. I use it to sharpen this one by Global
