I paid $20 for my copy and I got 15 years of use out of it. But there is no comparison of that vise to the smaller SS Regal jaws. The design of the SS jaws is much, much better for tying smaller flies.

The Regal is definately a better vise than the copy, but whether or not it is 10X better to offset the price difference... well, that is an individual decision that will not be the same answer for everyone. But I have no regrets with the decision to upgrade my vise.
