So I'm thinking my LN Convex Sole Block plane doesn't have that round sole I'm looking for. I'm building primarliy Archtops so that feature is important to me. The LN is a tried a true heirloom tool and I feel uneasy parting with it. But at the same time I'd rather have something that I can use ore often.

My LN has NEVER been used. I only ripped open it's protective rubber band to give the plane a once over. Great stuff. Just wish it was a little more bulbous on the bottom. I paid roughly around $95+ for this. If you feel your Stanley is worth more I have no trouble making up the difference. However, I would prefer for the Stanley to be in Very Good condition if at all possible. I'd be interested in hearing from any interested parties. Thanks.
