Nothing if it's useful .

I just know that most people are looking for low or medium duty.

I cant work out why ppl get so hung up about the "duty" of a fire brick?

You will find the high duty brick will most likely be denser than lower duty bricks, whilst it may take fractionally longer to heat up, you will get longer heat retention. This would be better in my opinion, win win.

Aren't they harder to cut?

Marginally, but most firebricks are that little bit harder to cut.
They are fired at 1350c usually, where a housebrick is fired at 1050c.
