Does anyone have any thoughts on which plane I should choose? I intend to use the plane for several purposes. (duh, that's why it's called a "jack" plane) My shooting board, as a fore plane, jointing and smoothing on figured wood. ( curly maple), and as an all around plane.

Anyone have any thoughts or opinions? I'm leaning towards the 5 1/2 for the extra heft and size.
Thanks.
