In my quest for a shoulder plane I am pondering over the ever popular Stanley #78 and the Chinese rosewood shoulder plane being sold by woodcraft. One good thing I like about the woodcraft plane is the copper mouth plate. There are several 78s being sold on the ?bay, prices of both are in the same ball park. So the question from the ones further down in the slippery slope is which one is better if one could have only one shoulder plane.
