Tristan,
If you're getting a fret buzz, why not level those frets instead of springing for a Plek job? Every neck, including a brand new, right out of the factory one, should have the frets levelled. That's something that none of the manufacturers are doing any more, due to cutting their cost of manufacture. It isn't hard to do but does require some special tools (available through a number of places, like Stew Mac). If you spring for the tools and do it yourself, you will be able to do this to all of your guitars. If you find a guitar tech to do it for you, you'll have the sweetest playing neck you've ever had. It makes a huge difference in your overall set-up, especially in setting the height of your action.
