Hi Ray,

I've been considering a Renzetti Traveler for a number of years because of posts like Afishinado's. Renzetti users seem to have a very strong feeling for their vises or perhaps I should say their vices. My conclusions and my questions are the same as yours. The "bang for the buck" is clearly in the Traveler. I don't see what would make the other Renzetti vises worth $200-$400 more. I believe the personal enjoyment of using the "best of the best" may have something to do with it. Since my 401K recently became a 101K, I believe I'll stick with my Regal and two very nice and very usable knock-off vises that we warn newbies about all the time. Just my 2% of a dollar, I'm sure others will disagree. 8T
