Not sure about bevel up, but do remember the Rider range does include what you could reasonably describe as a "shavings down" plane, which I think is unique to their range. Can't find the video on their site any more, but the details are here...

I cannot comment on the new Axminster planes as I have not tried them. I would not recommend just nipping into B&Q and picking up a Stanley no4 however.

I've always been curious about skew planes, Roger. Perhaps you can help. I use my jack plane on the skew almost all the time. Other than on a shooting board, when is it an advantage to have a plane body going straight forward but the blade on the skew, rather than just skewing the whole plane?

Nice liking plane though.
