I'm getting into handtools as well, concerns about the noise footprint when I work around apartment buildings, and the need to move from one job to another in the course of a days work means handtools being less bulky in some cases are more portable. Also if there are kids around handtools are less dangerous if they come up suddenly. Though handtools being sharp have to be carefully stowed and kept track of.
I've got a Veritas Low Angle Jack plane on the way upgraded my sharpening setup a month ago. Getting a variety of chisels mortise,heavy duty bevel edge chisels. butt chisels, gouges.. I've had a Block plane in my kit all along, and will get a few wooden planes sometime soon.. I have a few Bahco handsaws and am getting a Ryoba handsaw to supplement. I'll be able to work later with quiet handtools, which actually equates to more paid hours in the day.
