Convince me the $800 self-sharpening knife sharpener was a waste versus the $80 stone I used to use

I dropped $800 on that fancy electric sharpener last month after my butchery classes in Austin, and it keeps the edges perfect on my breaking knives, but honestly my old stone setup gave me way better control on the boning knives - which side are you on for a busy shop?

Consider how the noise will drive everyone crazy in a quiet kitchen.

Oh man, @victor219 you're SPOT on with this. I've got a similar setup and the blender is the WORST offender. I started keeping a silicone mat under mine and it helps a little with the vibration noise, but the high-pitch whine still cuts through. My fix was to prep smoothie bags on the weekend so I only have to blend once in the morning instead of multiple times.
