The RECORD 043 is perhaps the most common/well-known, but there’s no need to limit your search to just one brand/model.
There’s the RECORD 040,MARPLES M40, RAPIER… and others. See http://www.cornishworkshop.co.uk/groovingplane.html
You’re likely to have less competition in an online auction with lesser-known brands, and don’t believe what you read about Rapier being rough cast. They may have just had a poor specimen. I sold two (flawed) Record 043’s in favour of my Rapier 43.
