Busso, you sound like me; I asked a similar question in the "sharpening" thread of this site about three months ago. I got some excellent advice, particularly from Derek. Have a look at it.
I eventually went with a Veritas Mk II and the scary sharp system and got my very poorly sharpened tools into excellent condition surprisingly easily - they really are scary sharp. And once they are properly sharp then it is real easy & quick to keep them sharp.
The important thing, I found, is my learning curve. The tradespeople who have been using bench grinders for twenty years underestimate the skillbase that they have developed. Us plodders need to learn what they take for granted.
Shortly I will move on to water stones, later to a bench grinder with a good tool guide so that I can hollow grind. One small step at a time - I'll get there.
Cheers
Graeme
