As far as the J.T. Lamy company using machines to rough-carve their bass plates--what difference does that make? If two instruments look and sound identical, and were made in the same shop, but one was rough-carved on machinery, does that significantly detract from its value? And how would one know?

Correct BUT if the Plates are overly thick, re-graduating might be needed to optimize the sound. Just speculating here as none of us has seen this Bass.
So, is this Bass coming my way?
