Naniwa Coarse Confusion

Would anyone be able to inform me of the difference between these three stones;

1 - Naniwa NK-2204 Professional Whetstone Goken Kagayak

2 - Naniwa Chosera #400 Grit Super Ceramic Water Stone

3 - Naniwa Abrasives Goken 400 NA-0040

As far as I can tell, #3 is just a thinner version of #2, both of which are splash and go stones.

But what is #1, is it a splash & go, or a full soaker?

I’ve got a 1000 grit version of #3, and am a big fan, so am now looking for something a bit coarser, hence my current confusion.

Thanks

P.S I’m still thinking that this subreddit needs to make a public spreadsheet of the “big name” whetstone and models, with columns such as price, material, beginner friendly etc. Would anybody be interested in helping with creating such a document?
