Just to give an idea of the sizes and weights of some planes, here are some I use (sorry about the dust).

BTW, a couple of years ago I found myself away from home and needing a block plane, so I bought a new Stanley/Record block plane from LValley. It was nothing like the older beat-up Stanleys in my collection - poorly finished, and the blade was really not very good. (I did have a good sharpening system there, so that wasn't the problem.) IMO with the Stanley at $45 CDN and the Veritas apron plane @ $95, the apron plane makes a lot of sense.
