If I Needed a Knife = Santoku

I was bargain shopping on Amazon's deals today and ran across this beauty. I will state again, I do not NEED another knife (got a similar Henckel and Global) but dammit is this thing awesome looking. Ground to 8-12 degree it should be able to split atoms.
So, sorry for posting as I know this board is a wallet killer, but dam. I'm not convinced i don't NEED it.

Don't fear the link, just google condensed.

Have you used a santoku?
i went looking for my "first" knife around the time when they started getting popular and marketed heavily
looked cool, my first real knife etc
but it doesn't suit my style of handling, i eventually found out
i use a rolling sort of cutting, better suited to the big belly, rounder, german or western chef's knife profile
the santoku has a radius bear the tip but wuickly flattens out. Better for straight down chopping in my (limited) experience
i would recommend trying it before buying. Even if relatively cheap -
