I have the small plow, but it is the only similar tool I have used, so I consider it pretty good when I don't have to guess what some knob does.
I threw on a random profile cutter (ogee 104) from my set of 55s, and it made a pretty nice profile on this oak scrap with little setup considering it was not even sharp (the chunks out on the backside are some shallow dados, not tearout). I showed my wife and she said, "Is that your new tool? You can use it when you make the new dining table." Gotta love her.
