I actually like the Lie-Nielsen planes much more than the Veritas planes, I can’t stand the Norris adjuster. I want to be able to change the aggressiveness of the shaving without knocking the blade out of alignment and about half the time I knocked it. Not a problem with the LN planes. I also like the LN steel more, I bought a bunch of the PN-V11, and with the exception of keeping the low angle jack as a special plane for curly grain (I have a 50 deg blade in it, it’s almost a scraper) I have been selling the others after getting the 4,5,7 LN ones. I would like a Veritas large rabbet plane for fielding panels, LN doesn’t make one.
I have the Veritas plow plane and it’s great, my favorite plane they make.
I prefer the Veritas a little myself, but the few times I’ve had hands on LN… well, they’ll get no disrespect from me. Both fantastic premium options IMO.

I have a block plane, #4 smoother, and a jointer that I was going to list for sale, do you want any of them?
Sawstop saw is a good call. IMO kickback is scarier than amputation, but most saws have decent mitigations against kickback and nobody but Sawstop is in the business of saving fingers.
