Blaine,
Most tiers who have rotary vises don't even tie in rotary mode.
If cost is an issue and you really don't tie rotary, don't overlook the Xuron vise. It is an old design now manufactured again. It allows for easy movement of the jaws for inspection while tying and is built like a rock.
If you google Xuron Vise, you will see it. I think it is only $129 and will last a lifetime.
