I was hoping to borrow some knowledge from you guys.

I recently bought some pretty pricey planes from a vendor I do not care to name. Anyway, when I put the planes up against a high quality straight edge, granite surface plate, etc... I can see a lot of light between the sole of the plane and the straight edge and the granite plate. The toe and heel of the plane rest against the plate/straight edge, but there is a lot of bow inbetween. I can slide two pieces of paper between the granite surface plate and the plane. Also, when I use my Incra square, neither the #5 nor the #4 are square.


Am I over reacting/being fussy if I ask for a replacement? I wanted to dedicate the #5 to my shooting board. And the #4 just for general finishing work. Am I way off in asking for an exchange?
