To emphasize your point -High bevel angle have almost no down side in a conventional bevel down plane - as long as the bevelis far enough below the bedding angle to provide relief, you could go as high as 35°(assuming the blade steel was otherwise of virtue).In the case of blade used bevel up, where low angles can be of benefit on end grain, thereis a disadvantage to be taken into consideration.It's all a (whisper it) compromise.
