I drilled up a Defiant Edge as a compliment to my Green Mamba.  Was looking for a little more length as the lanes begin to transition.  Threw a few games today, and the Edge was reading just a touch too early for me.  I looked at the box finished, stated to be 1500 polished.  I think this is actually 500/4000 with polish?  What is a step weaker from this?  1000/4000 and polish?  Or 500/1000/2000 and polish?

Thanks
