I've recently been on this same search as you and here are some of my findings:
I have a 78 and seldom use it - especially in cross grain rabbets. I find that a wide, skewed, wooden shoulder plane...
One of my favorite and most used marking tools in the shop is the Veritas large saddle square. Sure does come in handy.
Well, I'm finally at the point where I want to get into the rounded profile edge tools. I do mostly furniture building in my little shop and am looking into what are the best sizes in gouges,...

Mine cost $102 shipping and all with the bubinga handle. However, I got a little bit of a discount because the bubinga had some VERY small worm holes in it. His regular price for the cherry...
I recently got a dovetail saw from Vlad Spehar and am quite pleased with it. I have no experience with the LN or Adria, but it's hard to beat Vlad's prices and it cuts like a dream. The handle is...
