I'm in need of discs for my ROS. Looking around Klingspor's site has
led to some confusion. Are there any situations where a stearated
paper is a disadvantage? I do notice that the coated discs seem to be
a bit less expensive, I'm guessing this means lighter paper and/or
less abrasive thus shorter life.

Stearate can cause adhesion problems with polyurethane.

If you're using it for between-coat sanding, you may have to strip the
stearates (mineral soaps) before finishing depending on the coating.
