Mark,
The Clifton 3110 extends its usefulness by in addition to that of a shoulder plane, it can be changed to a bullnose one and a chisel plane – working really well in all three configurations.
I have two of them. For the central properties they both meet expectations of having flat soles and beds, and solid positioning of the interchangeable front part. But at £210 (I think price has come down from £260), one could perhaps expect a higher finish.
The big and medium sized Veritas shoulder planes have also found their way into my plane cabinet. I use them as small shooting planes. And actually, is a shoulder of a tenon that is flat and para-planar to the piece’s surface that different from being on a shooting board.
