Tried from the source yet?
Shipping might kill all the savings, I didn't check.

Was looking at Veritas too but I think Lie Nielsen is edging it.
Agreed, but my folks were originally trying to buy me a suit for a lot more. A plane (or any tool) I'd get more use out of. And my criteria is basically "the nicer version of something I would buy for myself". I like my No.4 jack plane, and it does enough for my skills. I have a cheap draper block plane, and while after having sharpened it, it works fine; I can definitely feel how having a nicer made and better thought out version would be really nice.
When I was looking at the Quangsheng ones, I was looking at the No.62 low angle jack. Now unsure about one of those or a block.
