The enlarged slot is neatly done, someone would have to measure it to realize it was enlarged.
That's the way I feel, also. I don't buy planes for show, but to use. If someone modified the plane to use a modern thick iron it would be a plus for me. And if collectors spurn such planes, all to the good. There'll be less people competing with me to buy the plane.
And certainly from my own experience, a modern iron makes a world of difference in an old plane.

Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.
