The shine helps, but only if you're sure it's a flat shine. I use a sturdy wooden desk, but any flat surface will work.
If you're using a glass table (or anything), I'd lay something across it, like a level, to be sure it's flat and won't bend when you're working on it. But yeah, a firm, flat piece of glass is optimal for a working surface.
Anyway, I've lapped up to 600 grit and gotten a mirror shine. I can't imagine it looking any better, so a 2000 shine must be either the same thing or shinier than God's ass. Or something.
Anyway, I noticed a significant temp difference when I took out a WB that looked sort of rough and brought it to 600 grit, so I'm fairly certain at least that much helps. I'd expect a law of diminishing returns on this line, so I personally wouldn't lap any further. If you want to, go for it, and let us know how it worked out.
