Lately, I find myself gravitating more towards wooden planes, and have bought several specialty type woodies, such as a couple slot groovers, a doser, a left and right concave, a couple scewed rabbets (1 1/4" and 2"), and they just seem like decent planes.
I sure like the feel of a wood plane...they really feel nice.
