I was working some tiger maple that my 607 Bedrock wouldn't work because it
was lifting the grain and tearing out. I put the 50 degree iron in my LV BU
Jack Plane and was able to achieve a rub fit glue joint.

I really like the low center of gravity on that plane. It fast becoming my
preferred plane. :-)

Bevel ups are becoming my favorites, period!

I like the easy changes that you describe, and the lack of fiddling
with chip breakers, movable frogs, etc...
