An Atlas stone is much closer to the Inver, and IMHO a better training tool if you have them available. The only positive thing that a natural stone has going for it over an Atlas stone is the awkwardness of the lift: it doesn't always behave the way you want it to and that type of training comes in handy when you're lifting other natural stones (like the Inver).

When you go to the Inver, take along a box of chocolates for Mrs Richards! They are much appreciated ;-)
