One handy thing about that plane is that it uses the same blades as the bevel-up smoother, jack, and jointer. If you need to work mixed grain you can therefore swap in a high-angle blade just as with those other planes (assuming you have one or more of them).

I personally don't like BU planes for jointing - I use an LV custom 7 or an L-N 8.
