MagnaCut heat treat question

For those heat treating MagnaCut, what thickness are you taking the bevels to prior to heat treating?
 
While we're talking MagnaCut, what's your preferred HT temps? Cryo, or not?
Have you found anything particularly different or difficult in Ht'ing or grinding MagnaCut?
 
MagnaCut doesn't seem particularly difficult to grind when hardened. CPM20CV and S90V are a PITA (especially S90V), but Magnacut feels about like CPM154 or S35VN after hardening. A little harder than simple carbons/AEB-L/Nitro V after HT, but nothing horrible/curse worthy!

I just started using it, it seems a lot like CPM154 for grinding. Haven’t tried grinding it hardened yet. I do a little bit of a bevel before HT, probably about .075 or so.
