We have used both and far prefer the plane (an ergonomic model from
Scandinavia, I forget who had it). Among other things, the plane head
is immersible in water and stays clean. Also it uncaps comb that is
flush with the frame wood. May take an extra pass, but much easier on
hands and wrists. So far has held temperature well, but didn't get much
work last year in the drought.
