Aftermarket plane irons are an option these days. They are available in a variety of different steels that claim to offer improvements over the standard fitment.
Although it's possible to demonstrate in a test that a replacement steel is "better". However what does it really mean?
There is always a trade off. Aftermarket irons are thicker and harder which take longer to sharpen and in some cases need new abrasives to sharpen them properly.
For me, spending money on something that meets my expectations is not worth the investment. I can understand that if someone is planing MDF, end grain or an exotic timber which is abrasive all the time it could be worth it.
For me, I'll stick with the original irons. Stanley and their rivals weren't fools (back then anyway) and made irons that are suitable for most woodworkers, working in most timbers. Oak, Ash, Cherry, Walnut, Pine etc are all easily planed with standard irons.
