I need advise about I minimally need to sharpen my chisels and plane irons

I have the DMT duo-sharps that have four grits total, one on each side of the two plates. Those, in concert with a charged strop, is all I require for sharp edges.

The scary sharp method drove me crazy for the same reason identify above: went through paper too fast.
 
I don't think I'd recommend skipping a middle grit as the fine / extra fine wouldn't refine the edge as effectively… Is there a color chip on that DMT of yours (black or blue, for example)?
