I bought all the new beading blades (which takes you up to 1/2" width bead), one 1/4" cove, a four-bead blade, and- gosh- I can't remember now! I believe I also got a rabbeting blade. My total came to $518 for the plane and around six blades.
I confirmed with Rob and Vic that all blades for the small plow will fit the large. Also Rob said that Stanley blades fit as well, but regretfully I do not remember which model- I believe 55 but maybe the 45. I don't know the difference and don't own one but do know he said they would fit.
It is interesting to hear there are cove blades, multi-bead (or reeding) blades and other specialty blades. I look forward to seeing the full line of available blades.
The Stanley #45 and #55 blades are pretty much the same through the standard set. The movable skate on the #55 is also adjustable up and down allowing for blades that are not symmetrical from side to side.
The Stanley blades are a bit longer than the Veritas blades. My review of the Veritas Small Plow Plane includes using the Stanley blades in the VSPP:

If the adjuster on the large plow has more travel than the small plow it will allow them to be used with full adjustment abilities. This would be especially fun for those of us who would like to buy and modify old blades for special shapes and uses.
