Can I lap a plane sole on a diamond lapping plate?

I bought a DMT DIA-FLAT Lapping Plate a month or so ago. I got it to flatten my stones, and I can say it does a much quicker job than anything else I have used to flatten my Shapton ceramics. Very quick and fantastic!
I have a Lie-Nielsen #41/2 Smoother that somehow got a nasty set of grooves or defined scratches on the sole. I mist have hit something buried in a board. I need to re-flatten the sole, but I am concerned that the diamond plate may make a scratched out mess of it. Should I stick to the sandpaper on the granite plate method? I can see the sole on that plane getting much worse if I run it across the diamond plate.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help!
