I am a fairly avid sharpener, and I absolutely recommend going synthetic. I use DMT brand diamond stones -- I've got a full set of Naniwa japanese stones and haven't used them in months -- the diamond stones work so much faster, are perfectly flat, and have a much smoother action when sharpening.
It takes a little while to get used to the diamond stones because they're so much harder than natural, but once you invest in a set you'll never ever need to buy another stone again and you'll cut down your sharpening time by more than half.
