Question is, what should I buy, seeing as how I'm still a virgin

fine piece of equipment, but I'm willing to fork over the dough and
grow into it. I just don't want to blunder into some specialty item

You don't (IMHO) grow out of planes from the Borg... you grow in to them
as you learn to compensate for their bogosity.

Get a jack plane... it's a jack-of-all-trades kinda thing.
