Dear Adrian,
I don’t think that the different level, or amount of material filed during the faceting is related to a more or less fine work. It is just a different type of work. It depends from the effect aimed by the grinder, a piece that must show only facets (like a diamond) or a mix of faceted and rounded surfaces. A different looking job, not related to quality, to me. Besides that, it depends also by the thickness of the glass.
Kind regards
Giovanni
