Pardon me as I ascend my soapbox. 

I think Sellers is a breath of fresh air. 

I'm still fairly new to woodworking and hand tools in general. I got the galoot
bug a few years ago have slowly collected a menagerie of tools and,
occasionally, have done some woodworking.

One of the things that I found really really really frustrating when I first got
into this was a general sense of tool-snobbery pervading the woodworking
community. You have to have the latest and greatest plane. Bailey's design is
inferior. You at least need a Bedrock to get decent results. LN or LV are the
only planes worth anything. Wood planes and transitional planes are firewood.
