I bought my DanVise a year ago and love it. IMO you can't beat it for the money. I also subscribed to Mike Holt's Main Rotary Fly Tying site and I have really enjoyed learning to use the rotary tying techniques. I have not had one issue with the vice. So I would encourage you to have fun with that DanVise. You did well with the price; I paid $80 for mine. Best wishes.
