For a single grit, I'd recommend somewhere between 3-5 microns.  Five microns is about a 4000 grit equivalent, which is about the same as the Japanese wheel.  Three microns is about a 7,000 grit equivalent.

Ya, I don't like jumping from 1200 to 4000. Super steels like S110V just doesn't buffer out like S30V... not that S30V is effortless...

I'm using the Diamond 1200. It eats steel so easily I don't use the standard stone anymore.

I hate the honing wheel so I'm stuck with this 1200 and 4000...

Don't quite understand what your point is here?
If I understand correctly I'm not sure what the " being stuck" means.
You hate the honing wheel?
The leather honing wheel is there to de-burr.
At some point you must remove the burr.
Finer and finer grinding wheels up to the JS 4000 is not going to achieve this on a powered system.
At some point you will have to de-burr.
Leather honing wheel at correct angle depending on steel will achieve this.
Felt wheel at correct angle will achieve this.
Hanging leather strop may achieve this.
Creating a burr is easy.
Removing burr and refining edge is the hard part.

Just to add to Ken's original post:  I prefer the SG grindstone for sharpening scissors.
