Hey Norm, have you seen this one by Marc Petitjean? http://www.petitjean.ch/eng/MPVise/masterVise.asp
Too pricey for me at a $740 MSR, but still a cool looking vise. And a C-Clamp the converts to a Pedastal? Now THAT'S innovative!

Petitjean is probably best known for his Magic Head and Magic Tool.
