Scott,

One nice feature of the LV low-angle block to consider is the ability to outfit it with a ball tail & knob.

Combined with a 38 or 50 degree bevel on the blade, and you've got yourself a small smoother.

I've used both the LN and the LV low-angle blocks extensively, and I like both of them equally but for different reasons... you can't go wrong with either!
