Another question from the rookie. I'm going to order some more belts for the 1x42 from trugrit and all they have in scotchbrite is medium and very fine. Since I have never used them I wanted some recommendations or even some pics of the 2 finishes. Thanks for the help.

This is very fine over a 600 grit belt finish. Just on the hollow grind, the flats are polished. You'll get different looks depending on your last grit before the scotchbrite. I hardly use the medium, I can get a better finish with a fresh 400 grit belt. Crummy pic, I know, but the only one I could find in a pinch.

Sounds like very fine it is. Those little boogers are expensive but they last a long time right. Since we are talking scotchbrite finish how do you do the flats to match...With the belt sander or do you do it by hand?
 
Do a few tests to really see for your self. I go to 120 grit, then coarse , med & Fine with Scotchbrite.

Try 120 then Med, & fine. Then 220G then Med & Fine. then 220g and just the fine until you get the satin brite finish you like.
 
i haven't used scotch brite but Hermes makes their own version. Have one in 220 grit and one in 320 grit. work well.
