Baldor makes a 510 which they claim has a max of .002 run out and is
for diamond wheels. Should this unit just be used for finishing?

Baldor makes a 500 which they say should be use for roughing carbide
with "green" wheels.

Is anyone doing finish work on a Baldor 500 and using diamond wheels
on it?

What about this deal?

Shim the wheel. Works for harborfright stuff too.

These are greeat. Every large shop I've worked with that uses lots of
carbide has one of these. They demo them at all the large machine tool
shows, and I picked up one of their older smaller demo units for my home
shop. They run slow enough that you can use them on HHS. The only
annoyance is that the diamond wheels are pricey, and at least on mine, the
mount is proprietary. They are also not designed for drill sharpening per
se. You could use one for freehand grinding or with a good guide (like a
General), but it won't be as good as a Drill Doctor if you do a lot of
drills. They are mostly designed for lath bits.
