My router plane arrived yesterday from Lee Valley. I debated between veritas and Lie Nielsen and went with the Veritas. As a newbie woodworker I felt like the fence attachment and excellent depth adjuster was a plus. This router plane really is a quality tool with great features. I have been buying LN saws and I love them but the veritas router plane I felt was better for me. I am looking very seriously at veritas hand planes because of their pricing and quality.
