I've been using a Regal with the SS jaws and the brass pedistal base for about a year and a half. I've been very happy with it. The jaws provide good access and hook holding for tying midge flies. The vise can handle smaller hooks than I can deal with.
The only negative is that there is a limit to how big of hooks you can use with it. So, I have to use a different vise for tying larger striper flies. About 1/0 seems to be about the upper limit with the SS jaws.
