Being a recently addicted plane junky and excited to see this newly released plane I was curious to see if there was any justifiable reason to consider buying one (for me).
The only gap in functionality and desire I have is tongue and groove, but then I could buy both dedicated LN planes for the price of this combination plane (without blades). If there is no benefit over a small plow for t&g then it seems like the LN are the answer. Or buy the LV t&g blades and deal with the reported niggles / see for myself. I don't really want to get into second hand stanley planes as to be honest I don't want to spend the time looking for one and take the risks buying sight unseen online.
