Default Looking to buy a good quality low cost block plane any suggestions

Lei-Neilsen. You will never be unhappy with it and you will need only
one in this lifetime. Why get adequate unless you don't mind your work
being merely adequate. Devils advocate "any well tuned plane will work
well" , reality: the L-N will need about 7 minutes of tuning out of
the box. As for Lee valley, if you use a tool 3 times a day 5 days a
week for the next 10-30 years really whats an extra $75, for a tool
thats'a pleasure to use. but dont worry the L-N really is a good tool,
it's not jewelry.
