Kevin,
I'm no expert like the Chizz, however, from what I have learned over the years is that everyone has an opinion of what planes to own. The say Allen Peters uses a #7 for everything. If you listen to David Charlesworth, he favors a #5 1/2 as his go to plane. Of course he recommends have a good block plane, such as the LN you have.
Here is my two cents. I have refurbished old planes and now only acquire LN's. Here is my reasoning, it is difficult to find a good Bailey style at a cheap price any more they are well sought after by collectors, then you typically need to replace the blade and chip breaker, and the effort to tune the sole, the mouth. After all that it will perform almost as good as a LN and you will have almost as much money into it. Again this is only my opinion.
