Too many adjustments? Most of the adjustable parts are set and forget making it versatile without being overly complicated. Never had a problem with the base being too light. I also like it over the 4000 as it has the adjustable arm. I've had mine for about 5 years now without any issues.

On saying that though, buying a vice is a very personal decision and in addition to price, finish, features, etc, one must not forget that it must fit you and your tying style. While one could tie on most anything, it must be comfortable to you enabling you to get more enjoyment when you tie. I highly suggest that you find someplace that has a variety of vices and try them all out before you decide which to buy.
